A hydrosalpinx is a condition that occurs when a fallopian tube is blocked and fills with serous or clear fluid near the ovary (distal to the uterus). The blocked tube may become substantially distended giving the tube a characteristic sausage-like or retort-like shape. The condition is often bilateral and the affected tubes may reach several centimeters in diameter. The blocked tubes cause infertility. A fallopian tube filled with blood is a hematosalpinx, and with pus a pyosalpinx.[1]
Hydrosalpinx is a composite of the Greek words ὕδωρ (hydōr – "water"[2]) and σάλπιγξ (sálpinx – "trumpet"[2]); its plural is hydrosalpinges.
