Higher: It is possible to have a single tube damaged significantly and have the other tube remain totally normal. Most of the time tubes are damaged by either infection or endometriosis, both of which are global processes that affect a lot of different places. An hsg that confirms a tube is open does not indicate how the tube actually functions. So you still have a higher risk of ectopic.

If my right ovary measures 14.96ml and left is only 6.85ml ovarian volume after a left tube removal for ectopic, is this normal? Do I have PCOS? It says I have multiple tiny follicles on both ovaries, however none measuring over 1.0 cm??
