X-ray - HSG
The X-ray – HSG (Hysterosalpingography) is a specialized diagnostic imaging procedure used to examine the uterus and fallopian tubes. During this test, a contrast dye is gently introduced into the uterine cavity through the cervix, and X-ray images are taken to visualize the flow of the dye through the uterus and fallopian tubes.
This test helps determine whether the fallopian tubes are open or blocked and assesses the shape and structure of the uterine cavity. It is commonly used in the evaluation of infertility, recurrent miscarriages, or suspected uterine abnormalities.
HSG is usually performed under sterile conditions and may cause mild discomfort during the procedure. The test provides valuable information for diagnosing structural issues and guiding further treatment in reproductive health.
This test is recommended for women undergoing evaluation for reproductive health issues.
It is advised in the following cases:
- Difficulty in conceiving (infertility)
- Suspected fallopian tube blockage
- Recurrent miscarriages
- Irregular uterine structure
- Evaluation before fertility treatments
- Follow-up after tubal surgery
