Answer:

Salpingitis

Step-by-step explanation:

Salpingitis means " inflammation of the Fallopian tube ".

Inflammation of the fallopian tube (salpingitis) is usually secondary to endometrial infection or the presence of an intrauterine device; it may be acute or chronic. Chlamydial infection is now an important cause of chronic inflammation and subsequent secondary infertility due to loss of tubal patency.
