Any pathology affecting tubes like pelvic inflammatory diseases, genital tuberculosis (kochs), post procedure scarring, hydro/pyosalpinx, to (tubo-ovarian) mass may affect tubal epithelium and hence the function. Affected tubes increase the likelihood of infertility and ectopic pregnancy as well. Tests like sonosalpingography (SSG) and hysterosal...more
