Why does the doc think this specifically?.

Has a tubal x-ray (HSG) been done to assess whether your tubes are patent (open)?.

Adhesions are sticky strands that tether organs together. Sometimes these form after any abdominal surgery (e.g appendix removal, c section etc). Drug treatment on its own will not touch adhesions once they are formed; surgical removal is often done in this regard.

You will need to talk to your gynae consultant at some length re this matter.
