What Does Difficulty In Putting Catheter In, Dye Not Being Enough To Run Through Tubes During HSG For Tilted Cervix Mean?

I have a tilted cervix and trying to conceive. I had an HSG yesterday and the had a hard time putting the catheter in, they tried 3 different ones, they finally thought they had it, they were able to see the dye, but it was not enough to run through my tubes. What does this mean? Was this classified as a failed HSG? What are my chances of getting pregnant as they say getting an HSG can help get pregnant cause it dusts you out?

Hello,
i have gone through query and understand your concern.
First you have understand that a tilted cervix is not likely to create problems with fertility. Likewise, a tilted cervix is not likely to make pregnancy more difficult.
The cause could some thing else like blocked fallopian tubes, ovarian failure etc.
A tilted cervix is most likely an extension of a tipped uterus, which simply means that the uterus is tipped toward the back of the pelvis rather than the front of the pelvis.

But tilted cervix can be difficult to do the procedure like Hysterosalphingogram.
Because in tilted cervix, it can make it very hard for the catheter to slide through the cervix and into the uterus.
In Hysterosalphingogram, we have to pass catheter into cervix and inject a dye into uterus and we have to take pictures after some time.

You can try HSG again after some time.
If it fails then, you should try Diagnostic Laprascopy.

Hope this helps.
please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The hystero salpingogram may not be a deciding factor.But the reason for not passing of catheter and the drug,are to be considered for the cause of the infertility.
The cause may be the adhesions, or pressure from out side like fibroids etc.
I advise you to consult a gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have an M.R.I. for diagnosis.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
