‘Fertilitygoddess’ posts on Tubal Reversal Message Board, “I had my tubal reversal in February 2007. In June 07 I had a miscarriage and then in August I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in which I lost my right tube and ovary. Then, in December I decided to have an hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to see if my remaining tube was open and to my dismay they told me it was blocked. Now, 5 months later I guess I would have to tell them …Boy were they wrong!” Misinterpretations of the results of an HSG are very common. Often, x-ray dye does not enter the fallopian tube because of tubal spasm or other technical problems, yet the HSG may be interpreted as saying the tube is blocked. Unless the x-ray dye enters the fallopian tube to the area where anastomosis has been performed, the HSG is properly interpreted as “inconclusive”. Because of this and other errors in interpreting HSG x-rays, Dr. Berger always asks that his patients send him the x-ray films to examine himself so a correct interpretation can be made.
