There are several methods to diagnose hydrosalpinx.

Ultrasound is also done but is not much useful in detecting the blockage.
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) displays tubal blockages. It is a type of X-ray where a special dye is introduced through the vagina and cervix.
Keyhole surgery or laparoscopy is a procedure where a small incision is made and a camera is inserted in the abdomen. Through this blockage is seen and removed.
Hydrosalpinx and Infertility
Sperm must meet an egg for pregnancy to occur. An egg is released from the ovary on the 14th day of the menstrual cycle. The pathway should be clear for an egg to complete its journey upto uterus.
Fallopian tubes are the pathway for egg and sperm to meet. The egg travels along the fallopian tube to the uterus. Due to hydrosalpinx the fallopian tubes are blocked with fluid that obstructs the pathway of the egg.
If the blockage is in one tube there is a possibility to conceive. The fluid, causing blockage in the tube may leak into the uterus and disturb the embryo implantation.
