Hydrosalpinx refers to the condition where the fallopian tubes are infected by pathogens, leading to inflammation. As a result of the infiltration of inflammatory cells, the inner lining of the fallopian tubes becomes swollen, the stroma swells, and exudation occurs. The epithelial cells of the fallopian tube mucosa may slough off, and the secretory fluid of the mucosal cells accumulates within the lumen. Alternatively, it may be caused by recurrent inflammation of the fallopian tubes, leading to adhesions at the isthmus and fimbriae, which block the tubes and result in tubal abscess formation. When the pus cells in the lumen are absorbed, the final outcome is a watery liquid.The causes of hydrosalpinx are often associated with artificial (medicated) abortion, unclean masturbation, or other factors leading to infections of the adnexa (pelvic region). These infections can cause adhesions, congestion, and edema of the fallopian tube walls, further blocking the tubes and preventing the fusion of sperm and eggs, ultimately resulting in infertility.
