◐Partially SupportedA normal fallopian tube on an HSG appears as a smooth, wire-like structure that allows dye to fill and spill out into the peritoneum.

◐Partially SupportedSevere, untreated chlamydia or gonorrhea infections can lead to completely scarred fallopian tubes, but IVF may still be possible.

◐Partially SupportedInfertility rates are increasing, with a lifetime risk of about 1 in 6 for individuals.

◐Partially SupportedRisk factors for ectopic pregnancy include STDs causing tubal scarring, previous pelvic surgery, and endometriosis.

◐Partially SupportedDelayed childbearing due to education, career pursuits, or finding the right partner contributes to increased infertility rates.

◐Partially SupportedSperm counts may be decreasing globally, potentially contributing to infertility.

◐Partially SupportedRemoving one fallopian tube reduces fertility by 50% if only one tube remains, but preserves the endocrine system.

◐Partially SupportedScarring in one fallopian tube suggests the scarring process may have affected the other tube as well.

◐Partially SupportedA normal fallopian tube lumen diameter is likely a millimeter or more.
