He called it something else but I don't know what. It was so narrow that he could not fit the balloon through for the HSG. He said it is easily corrected though. Can anyone give me any insight into what this condition is, how it can affect conception, and how they might go about correcting it? Has anyone else experienced this condition and what were your experiences with it? Thank you.

Presuming the condition is cervical stenosis, it may als0o include poor mucus production. If only stenosis, the cervix can be stretched, either in the office or in the operating room. If the mucus is inadequate, several therapies are available, from Robitussiin to liquify it somewhat to intrauterine insemination to bypass the cervix altogether.
