What is Hysterosalpingogram?
A Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an essential imaging test used primarily in fertility evaluations. During the procedure, a specialized contrast medium (dye) is gently injected through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. X-ray images are then taken simultaneously.
This examination allows doctors to clearly visualize the shape and contour of the uterine cavity and accurately diagnose whether the fallopian tubes are patent (open), blocked, swollen, or structurally abnormal. For women experiencing difficulties conceiving, an HSG is a vital step in identifying potential causes of infertility.
Important Notes Before Your Check-up:
- Abstain from Intercourse: For safety and accuracy, you must strictly avoid sexual intercourse from the first day of your menstrual period until the examination is fully completed.
- Pregnancy Warning: As this procedure involves X-rays, it cannot be performed if you are pregnant. If you suspect you might be pregnant, please inform our medical staff immediately before proceeding.
- Arrive Early: Please arrive 15 to 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to complete the registration process.
- Bring Previous Records: Please bring any old pelvic ultrasounds, X-ray films, DVDs, or relevant medical reports for the doctor’s reference and comparison.
