Understanding Your HSG Report


When a woman undergoes a Hysterosalpingography (HSG) test, the results can often look confusing. Filled with medical terms, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Instead of tossing your report aside or rushing online to ask strangers in forums what it means, the best step is to sit with your doctor and ask clear, specific questions.

Questions to Ask Your Doctor After an HSG Test

To better understand your HSG results, you can ask your doctor simple but important questions such as:

  1. What is responsible for the blockage—fluids or adhesions (scar tissue)?
  2. How serious is the blockage—are both tubes blocked or just one?
  3. Are the tubes partially or completely blocked?
  4. If the tubes are swollen (hydrosalpinx), how swollen are they?

These questions help you understand your condition more clearly and prepare you to make the right treatment decisions. If your doctor tells you about IVF or Surgery to remove your tubes, listen but don't take consider it further. Focus on natural remedies.

How to Read Common HSG Report Terms

When Tubes Are Blocked by Adhesions (Scar Tissue)

Look for phrases such as:

  • “Non-visualized or opacified ” / “Dye not seen”
  • “Adhesions”
  • “Non-spillage” / “Non-patent”

➡ These terms usually indicate the presence of scar tissue (Adhesions) blocking the fallopian tubes. In this case, the outline of the tubes may look blurred or unclear during the test.

When Tubes Are Blocked by Fluids (Hydrosalpinx )

Look for phrases such as:

  • “Dilated tubes”
  • “Sausage-shaped” or “Balloon-shaped”
  • “Salpingitis”
  • “Hydrosalpinx”
  • “Clearly visualized / well seen / opacified”
  • “Delayed spillage”

➡ These suggest that the tubes are filled with fluid—known as hydrosalpinx. In such cases, the tubes often appear swollen on the screen.

Why Knowing the Type of Blockage Matters

Not all tubal blockages are the same. This is  why many women struggle for years without success—because they are treating the wrong type of blockage.

  • Adhesions (scar tissue): Do not always respond to herbal remedies. A different approach is needed, for example fertility massage.
  • Hydrosalpinx (fluid-filled tubes caused by infections like PID): Requires specific herbal and natural remedies that target infection, inflammation, and fluid buildup.

Unfortunately, many treatments on the internet generalize blocked tubes without considering these differences. This is why some women keep drinking herbs or supplements without seeing results.

The Right Approach to Treatment

  • If your tubes are blocked by adhesions, don’t waste time and money on herbal remedies that don’t target scar tissue.
  • If your tubes are blocked by hydrosalpinx, taking herbs while practicing other remedies like anti-inflammatory diet, castor oil therapy, fertility cleansing, massage etc—can support healing of the tubes.

In summary:
👉 Always seek to understand your HSG report first.
👉 Identify whether the blockage is caused by adhesions or fluids (hydrosalpinx).
👉 Treat accordingly for the best chance of success.

Many women never achieve results because they approach their HSG findings blindly. If you’ve been using the wrong remedies for the wrong type of blockage, that could explain why you’re not seeing progress.

💡 Take time to study your report, ask your doctor the right questions, and choose the right treatment path. That is the surest way to move closer to your goal.

Thanks.
