hysterosalpingogram

the doctor didn't give her her results right away. He seemed worried and
said he had to think about it. She even called him again, and he still said
that it was a complicated case and he didn't want to say the wrong thing.
Now she is really worried, naturally. What can they tell from this test
other than if your tubes are blocked or not? Has anyone had a "complicated"
result? The test didn't hurt her at all--wouldn't that be a sign that the
tubes weren't blocked? Any information or stories of similar experiences
would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help you can give. Claudia

not?
They can tell if there's a uterine mass (e.g., polyps). They can also see
whether the uterus is shaped normally.

Yes, they say it most often hurts more if the tubes are blocked.
I am sorry your friend has to deal with such a situation. It is not easy.
I hope her doctor shares with her the results soon (even if he is not 100%
certain).

uterus was not shaped correctly, which could interfer with conception. I had
surgery a month or so later and fixed the problem along with removing some
endrom...
From what I understand, b/c i saw my results, it's just an xray so I am not
sure how much they can tell about anything except the shape and if the dye goes
all the through the tubes. hope this helps.

Aside from blocked tubes, there can be loculations of dye around them,
indicating peritubal adhesions. Tubes can be patent but swollen or
otherwise damaged by salpingitis. The interior of the uterine cavity might
have something wrong: polyps, fibroids, adhesions, DES configuration, septum
or other müllerian anomaly.
My first HSG revealed a complete uterine septum. Septa, bicornuate uterus,
uterus didelphys, and any other congenital uterine malformation happen to
1.8% of the population, so it's not rare. Septa can be fixed, as can
polyps, fibroids and adhesions. I would say that adhesions and damaged tubes
present the biggest problem. Hope your friend has something not too serious
and easily addressed.

technician if my tubes were clear, and he said yes. I breathed a sigh of
relief and thought that was it--end of story. When I met with my RE a
little later, he showed me the image, which revealed a very small,
T-shaped uterus. I freaked out, thinking that there was no way I could
ever carry a pg to term. (As it turns out, I don't have a classic
T-shaped uterus. My uterus appeared to be that shape because of a lack
of hormonal stimulation. Basically, what happened to me is what happens
to many post-menopausal women who don't get HRT: the uterus shrinks.
Once I started IF treatment--and since have become pg--my uterus has
grown quite a bit and is continuing to grow just fine.)
So, the HSG can show much more than just whether or not the tubes are
blocked. I hope everything turns out well for your friend.

Just wanted to add that where I live you have the hsg done and attending RE
has a quick look while they are doing it...but then it needs to be examined
carefully by an RE after the procedure is done to get a thorough look at the
films (or whatever it is on) in detail...my results took 10 days to come
in...
