What is piosalpinx and how does it heal?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 09/28/2018

Piosalpinx is an acute inflammation of the fallopian tubes, which are obstructed by pus-filled tubes.

The treatment of piosalpinx is based on antibiotics for the infection to subside. In this case, the piosalpinx becomes hydrosalpinx because the tubes may still be blocked.
