What Causes Swelling Of Fallopian Tubes?
I am 48 yrs old and had a hyst 3 yrs ago. I have been having pelvic pain and had a laparoscopic surgery just yesterday. They didn t find any endometriosis but just scar tissue and two swollen Fallopian tubes which were removed. What could be the cause of the swelling and should I be concerned?

Swollen fallopian tubes is called as hydrosalpinx
Usually infection and inflammation cause this condition.
Common reasons are previous surgeries , endometriosis, tuberculosis , pelvic inflammatory disease.
Incase you have history of any , you may correlate.
The tubes have been removed probably keeping possibility of IVF in the future. in that case the swollen tubes might damage the growing embryo
