Several authors have reported schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma haematobium in the female genital tract of patients in endemic areas. This work describes tubal schistosomiasis by Schistosoma mansoni in a Brazilian woman submitted to hysterectomy for uterine myomatosis and metrorrhagia. Macroscopy evidenced hydrosalpinx of the left tube and multiple Schistosoma mansoni eggs were identified b...

Five adult female goats were brought to our veterinary hospital with infertility. Ultrasonography showed what seemed to be hydrometra or cystic lesion in the genital region of 18-month-old twin local breed female goats. After slaughter of the does and excision of the genital tract, a macroscopic examination revealed bilateral hydrosalpinx and extreme dilation of the ovarian bursa with complete ...

Ectopic pregnancy is a life threatening condition and is a major event in a woman's reproductive life. We report herein an unusual case of repeated ectopic pregnancy even after the excision of both fallopian tubes with a deleterious consequences and a near miss. This case teaches us a lesson not to forget ectopic pregnancy. The lady in this report underwent in vitro fertilization treatment cycl...

Torsion of the normal fallopian tube with or without the ovary is not very rare. The lesion of the tube preceding torsion is mostly a hydrosalpinx. The interference in bloodsupply converts this to a haematosalpinx. Primary tumours of the oviduct are seldom diagnosed before operation. With early diagnosis and treatment it might be possible to conserve normal structures by untwisting the pedicle ...

Abstract C. trachomatis infections in women may cause pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic pain, and infertility. In the mouse model, genital Chlamydia disseminates systemically to infect spleen. Removal of spleen (splenectomy) abrogates hydrosalpinx pathology female reproductive tract (FRT), although it does not affect FRT clearance. Ascension upper (uteri, ovaries, oviducts) is critical for d...

While in-vitro fertilization (IVF) was initially developed in women with tubal factor infertility, recent clinical studies have suggested that the presence of hydrosalpinges lowers implantation and pregnancy rates. We postulated that these hydrosalpinges cause impaired endometrial receptivity. A total of 103 women with hydrosalpinges were prospectively evaluated, and compared with 55 infertile ...
