hi, dr boskey gandhi here, in h.s.g test, dye is injected from uterus & it should spillage in pelvic cavity via fallopian tube normally. in your case, on left side spillage is present, but on rt side no spillage, so it May be blockage in rt fallopian tube, now for identification of blockage, laparoscopy is more adviceble. so good luck.
