Abstract

Salpingo-oophoritis is an inflammatory disease affecting the fallopian tubes and ovaries, most commonly caused by bacterial infections. This condition leads to significant anatomical and histological changes in the ovaries, including edema, hyperemia, infiltration by inflammatory cells, and disruption of normal ovarian architecture. In acute stages, the ovaries may become enlarged and painful, while chronic inflammation can result in fibrosis, adhesions, cyst formation, and impaired follicular development. These pathological changes may negatively impact ovarian function, leading to menstrual disorders, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain. Understanding the anatomical changes of the ovaries in salpingo-oophoritis is essential for early diagnosis, effective treatment, and prevention of long-term reproductive complications.
