Chronic salpingitis may result from inflammation of the lower genital tract, such as chronic cervicitis or parametritis. It may also be caused by ascending infections—such as those due to *Chlamydia trachomatis* or *Neisseria gonorrhoeae*—that spread upward to involve the fallopian tubes. Additionally, it can arise from genital tuberculosis, wherein *Mycobacterium tuberculosis* infection leads to this condition.
