Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic .
Tubal patency can't be commented on ultrasonography either done through abdomen or through vagina.
tubal patency can be visulised only on hysterosalpingo graphy. In Hsg dye is injected which lines the uterus and tube . Then it is seen on x-ray. If tubes not seen means they are not open. Its difficult to trust your report as tubal patency never diagnosed on sonography.
I would suggest you to discuss this with your treating doctor.
Hope I have been helpful .
Regards
Dr.Deepika Patil
