Tubal Diseases

Inflammatory process of the pelvis, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), is a frequent and serious yet treatable disease that can lead to abscess formation or pelvic fluid accumulation. When the abscess or the fluid remains into the tube, the pathology was called hydrosalpinx or pyosalpinx [1]. The condition can affect one or both fallopian tubes.
