Many times after a women has gone through tubal reversal surgery and does not conceive as fast as expected she will ask for a tubal reversal dye test. What the dye test does is confirm whether or not the tubes are still open.
The name of the test is called a hysterosalpingogram but is almost always called the HSG test. And what the technician does it put dye into the uterus until it spills over into the fallopian tubes.
For some who have had the tubal reversal surgery the results may come back that there is a blocked tube and in all reality it is not. If you get the results that you have a blocked tube send the results to an expert right away. Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center have seen this happen to many tubal reversal patients. In the majority of the time it was the results of the test being interpreted wrong. A vast majority of the time not enough dye and pressure was used causing the dye not to flow through the fallopian tubes.
Another factor that can caused a tube to look blocked is that as the dye is being pushed the fallopian tube will spasm and not allow the dye to pass.
If you are a tubal reversal patient of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center and have negative results from a HSG please forward the results to Dr. Berger or Dr. Monteith right away. Do not despair until you hear the official word from the tubal reversal surgeons. All too many women have given up hope to become pregnant believing they had blocked fallopian tubes only to get a positive pregnancy test.
