hydrosalpinx

hydrosalpinx is the buildup of a clear, watery fluid in a fallopian tube, usually at the end closest to the ovary. this condition can make it difficult for a woman to become pregnant (infertility).

treatment may include surgical removal of the part of the fallopian tube that generates the fluid (salpingectomy). less frequently, a new opening in the part of the tube closest to the ovary may be surgically created (salpingostomy).
