can we flush water inside vagina to clear possible blocks in the tubes etc?
I found the below text at http://www.webmd.com/infertility-and-reproduction/guide/hysterosalpingogram-21590
it says "Occasionally the dye used during a hysterosalpingogram will push through and open a blocked tube". Does this mean flushing a clean stream of water in side the vagina/uterus can help clearing blocks in fallopian tubes. Sorry if I sound very stupid. Is such a treatment ever exist? I know a girl personally who conceived immediately after this diagnosis.
========================================
A hysterosalpingogram is done to:
Find a blocked fallopian tube. The test often is done for a woman who is having a hard time becoming pregnant. An infection may cause severe scarring of the fallopian tubes and block the tubes, preventing pregnancy. Occasionally the dye used during a hysterosalpingogram will push through and open a blocked tube.
Find problems in the uterus, such as an abnormal shape or structure, an injury, polyps, fibroids, adhesions, or a foreign object in the uterus. These types of problems may cause painful menstrual periods or repeated miscarriages.
See whether surgery to reverse a tubal ligation has been successful.

You can’t get enough fluid into the uterus by putting water into the vagina. Getting a tube into the cervix is very difficult and a very high risk for injuring the cervix which could scar it and ruin your cm and sperm storing channels within the cervix.
Even if you got a large amount into the uterus, that doesn’t mean it will flow down the tubes and with enough force. A saline sonohysterogram doesn’t even reach the tubes. It’s only occasionally when an HSG will flush out MINOR blockage (not moderate or severe blockage or scarring).
If someone is thinking of doing that without a medical license they are risking a lot of problems such as those above and these–
Inducing germs into the uterus (which puts high risk of bloodpoisoningg). In fact, before getting an HSG, you’re given anantibioticc which you start the day before and continue for days after.
Regular water contains chemicals & things in it (it’s not sterile) and it’s not ph balanced to your body so if you managed to get fluid up to the tubes, it will go into your abdominal cavity and cause problems like cramping.
You could damage the lining and your tubes.
Don’t attempt this with tap water… you could introduce who knows what up there and really screw things up.
I think you should be talking to a gynocologist about this.
I wouldn’t try it. I don’t see how flushing anything up into your vagina can be healthy for it. If you believe you have something wrong then consult with your doctor before doing anything that may be potentially harmful to your body.
I know of people who have said that the dye bein pushed though there actually did open the tubes that was blocked. My Dr also told me that if my tubes where blocked that the dye may open it but at the same time it a very slim chance. If you want to try something like pushin water into your tubes to open them then I would suggest seein the Dr for that. They will give you the right test to have done in order to make sure that your tubes are actually closed. The test isnt that bad just a lil painful. Like a sharp menstrual cramp. Then if your tubes are blocked there are a number of things that the Dr can do to open them. Good luck!
Water is very different than the chemical used to perform this procedure. Vaginal douching is similar to the concept you are considering. Using a device to clean out the vagina with water, but your thinking even bigger. Vaginal douching is not recommended by any OB/GYN I have worked for and I have worked for a good number. So I honestly doubt using water to try and open a blocked tube would be a good idea.
This is done in a doctors office and is completely safe there. At home it would be dangerous, if not deadly. Inserting anything past your cervix that is not done by a doctor in a clean setting will most likely lead to infection which causes infertility.
Some women do claim that get pregnant right after this procedure, and I guess its possible. s the dye and fluid passes through the fallopian tubes, they are opened up. Blockages are removed, which would help a couple conceive
