Question 1

what does burning your fallopian tubes mean?

Accepted Answer

Tubes are Cauterized: Burning the tubes means that the surgeon is using electrical energy to cauterize the tubes in an effort to cause scarring of the tubes so that they won't function properly in the future.

Question 2

hsg report fallopian tubes are opacified means?

Accepted Answer

Clarification: You will need to get clarification on the findings. Opacification just means that the tubes were whited out. That is what one expects on an HSG. What you need to know is if they are patent (open). Contact the ordering physician and ask them to clarify the findings.

Question 3

does ovulating mean fallopian tubes came untied?

Accepted Answer

No: Women still ovulate even if their tubes are tied .  A tubal ligation just blocks the passage of the egg down the tube it does not stop the egg from being made and released.

Question 4

what does it mean to have blocked fallopian tubes?

Accepted Answer

Fallopian tubes: Once ovulation occurs and the egg is released from the ovarian follicle, it enters the uterus through the fallopian tubes.  If the tubes are blocked, the egg can't get in.  It may therefore cause infertility.

Question 5

what does localised spillage in fallopian tube mean?

Accepted Answer

HSG: This sounds like a report from a hystosalpingogram.... They took an x-ray while they pushed dye through your tubes and they saw "localized" spillage" from the end of the tube.  Not seeing the report, i would say this is a good thing, meaning that the tube is not blocked. Typically, when done to assess infertility, a blocked tube is a reason to be concerned that tube can't carry egg to uterus.

Question 6

what does it mean to have pus in the fallopian tube?

Accepted Answer

Infection: It means the tube contains infection. It may be a long term chronic infection. Or it may be an acute or immediate infection. An acute infection needs to be treated with antibiotics, sometimes requires hospitalization. Sometimes the tube must be surgically removed for a variety of reasons.

Question 7

what does it mean if your fallopian tubes are blocked and you're not detecting ovulation?

Accepted Answer

That's it: You're not detecting ovulation because of blocked tubes. Did you have any pelvic inflammatory disease in past?

Question 8

my report say both fallopian tubes are opacified in their entire extent, appears patent and normal in size... what does it means?

Accepted Answer

Normal: It means that they can see the contrast in all the right places and that your tubes are normal.

Question 9

what does bilateral patent fallopian tubes actually mean?

Accepted Answer

Tubes are open : It means both tubes are open.

Question 10

fallopian tube with restricted spilage of contrast means?

Accepted Answer

: I wouldn't pay any attention at all to this minor component of your hysterlapingogram report. Go the end and look for a summary statement about diagnosis or conclusion; everything before that is likely to be highly technical and intended for the ordering doctor, other radiologists, etc. If any uncertainty remains, discuss with your gyn or whatever doctor ordered the study. Good luck.
