What is causing my fallopian tubes to be
full of water and could this be some type
of desease. They haven't told me very
much, only that they need to be removed.
Could this be (Tuberculous
Salpingitis)?

“Water in the fallopian tubes”
(hydrosalpinx) is the final stage of a
fallopian tube pus infection. The tube
closes its ampular area during the
infection in order to prevent the
infection from spreading the infection up
to the peritoneal cavity. The infection
agents are usually purulent microbes such
as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus or
Gonorrhea. Pus collects in the tube’s
lumen (pyosalpinx). After some time, the
pus turns into a serous liquid
(hydrosalpinx). There is always a risk for
repeating the infection so surgical
removal of the tubes is recommended.
