Corinna & - I also have a stenotic cervix

[Guest guest]

Corinna,

I don't know if this really answers your question, but I was told I

had a stenoic cervix when I went for a the saline tyoe HSG ( I forget

the name) The doctor kept trying to get the catheder in and was

forcing it hard for a long time. Than he told me that he would

manully dilate me, which didn't work. This was all without any

meds. Talk about pain. As it turned out there appearded to be scare

tissue. When I went in for an operative hyst two months following

that, between my retroverted uterus and the stenotic cervix the doc

pushed to hard with the scope and perferated my uterus. Fats forward

a year. When I finally saw and A list doc, Dr. Cohen, when I had my

HSG he was able get thru the the cervix, but with difficulty. He had

to than give me lidocane and try to dilate me, he was able to dilate

me enpugh to get the cath in and break thru some minor scar tissue

there. When I followed that with a diagnostic hyst he again

incountered difficulty though this time the scar tissue wasn't a

problem, just that the cervix would not really dilate. I do not

believe he needed it to dilate much for the hyst. I guess it would

depend on the individual. I dont know if this helps or not.
