Peritubal adhesions and infertility - #19925
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?

Doctors’ responses
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.
