Dr. John Berryman answered

Myomectomy ?'s: Myomectomy as any surgical procedure can cause scarring of injured tissue, and depending on where the scarring develops, may interfere with fertility. If your tubes were open during the myomectomy, you might need a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to make sure they are still open: consult your gyn physician for appropriate testing.
