Several conditions can affect the fallopian tubes and impact fertility and overall reproductive health:
Ectopic Pregnancy: This occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, often in the fallopian tube, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Tubal Blockage: Blockages can prevent the egg from reaching the uterus, leading to infertility. Causes include infections, endometriosis, and scar tissue. Salpingitis: Inflammation of the fallopian tubes, often due to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can cause pain, fever, and infertility. Hydrosalpinx: A condition where the fallopian tube is filled with fluid, leading to swelling and potential infertility.
