Hydrosalpinx are something that can completely render someone infertile because they prevent the egg from ever reaching the uterus and from the sperm meeting up with the egg. The Fertility Specialists of Texas give a good description of what a hydrosalpinx actually is:
“A hydrosalpinx is a fallopian tube that is filled with fluid. Injury to the end of the fallopian tube, the ampulla, and its delicate fingers, the fimbria, causes the end of the tube to close. Glands within the tube produce a watery fluid that collects within the tube, producing a sausage shaped swelling that is characteristic of hydrosalpinx.” (http://www.fertilitytexas.com/pages/hydrosalpinx)
