âThe Machineâ International Trailer. The Machine is being hailed as one of 2014's best sci-fi thrillers. Coming to U.K. theaters this March, the story, from director Caradog W. James, takes place in an impoverished world plunged deep into a Cold War with a new enemy.
The blockage is caused by an adherent plug of mucus that forms over the opening of the fallopian tube(s). In some women, injecting the contrast for the HSG will dislodge the plug with immediate opacification of both of the tubes. Therefore, for some women they only need the HSG to open their tubes.
I recently had an exam with my Ob Gyn who said that not only do I have other problems, but my fallopian tubes are also swollen. She prescribed a medication I can take for now, but I still don't understand how my fallopian tubes became swollen in the first place. There are several possible causes for a 'swollen' fallopian tube (salpingitis) but the most common cause would be pelvic inflammatory disease.
