Peritubal adhesions and infertility - #19925

Aliki

Hysterosalpingography report: Uterine cavity in pronounced flexion (upside down), normal shape. Both fallopian tubes were easily visualized, with no evidence of hydrosalpinx. Normal exit of contrast medium into the peritoneal cavity. Small contrast retention in both fimbrial ends due to peritubal adhesions. Could I get pregnant naturally or do I need to have IVF?

Age: 28

Doctors’ responses

Dr. Shayeque Reza
I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

Overall, the HSG findings are reassuring and do not indicate a need for immediate IVF. Both fallopian tubes are open with normal spill of contrast, which means egg and sperm can meet naturally. The small peritubal adhesions noted at the fimbrial ends are mild and external to the tubes, and they do not necessarily prevent ovum pickup or fertilization. A retroflexed (upside-down) uterus is a normal anatomical variant and does not cause infertility. Given your age of 28 and patent tubes, natural conception is very much possible, and trying to conceive naturally (with or without simple treatments like ovulation tracking or induction) is the appropriate first approach. IVF should only be considered later if pregnancy does not occur after an adequate period of trying or if additional infertility factors are identified.
