HSG test & Group B StrepFrom: Karen (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 2 Jul 2003 12:07:37 -0500 (CDT)
I recently had a HSG test. My doctor's office gave me a vaginal culture prior to my HSG to test for infections. I received a call from them AFTER my HSG indicating that I was positive for Group B Strep and needed to be treated with antibiotics before my HSG. Naturally, I was upset at their mix-up, since I had already had the test. I am on antibiotics now, but I am quite concerned that the HSG may have caused the GBS bacteria to travel to my uterus and tubes. I am going to start TTC again soon. I had a miscarriage in May, and I'm waiting the 3 cycles as instructed...although, I've read that the whole 3 cycle thing is very doctor-dependent. So, perhaps we'll start again sooner. However, now I have this GBS concern. If I have GBS in my uterus when I get pregnant, then it is fairly likely that I'd be infecting my baby, right? Please help clear this up. My doctor has told me that there was no increased risk with the HSG because I have the Group B, but I feel like he may be covering up for their poor administration and mix-ups at this point. (He also failed to show up at the Radiologist for my HSG, which he was supposed to administer). Needless to say, I'm switching doctors...but am left feeling confused and worried about the whole GSB in my uterus thing. Please help. Thanks.
