What Is The Cause Of Delay In My Pregnancy?
Hi, i have been trying to conceive for years. I have just done HSG and the results are stating that the uterus is retroverted to the left and the right tube did not opacify proximal inclusion. Could you kindly explain and advise the meaning of this? Or could this be the cause of me not conceiving?

Hi,
When the uterus is retroverted, it makes it more difficult for the Sperms to reach inside the uterus. Also when the Fallopian tube is not patent this means that the ova will not move from the ovary to the uterus easily and the sperm if reached the uterus won't be able to find its way to the ova for the fertilization to occur. Both features decrease the pregnancy rate.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
