N83.6: Haematosalpinx

There has been bleeding into your fallopian tubes.

The two fallopian tubes go to the right and left of the ovaries towards the womb. They are like tubes and they transport the egg cells from the ovaries to the uterus.

Blood has accumulated in your fallopian tubes. This can happen, for example, if menstrual blood flow is obstructed. Blood can also build up if the fallopian tube becomes inflamed.
