Bleeding or blood accumulation in a fallopian tube, often associated with ectopic pregnancy.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'salpinx' (trumpet, tube). The term specifically names blood collection in the reproductive tubes that are trumpet-shaped.
Hemosalpinx is a dangerous sign of ectopic pregnancy—when an embryo implants in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus, it can rupture and cause massive internal bleeding that requires emergency surgery.
