About Hysterosalpingogram

A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is a specialized X-ray procedure performed by fertility specialists in IVF and Reproductive Medicine to evaluate the shape of the uterine cavity and the patency (openness) of the fallopian tubes. During the procedure, a small amount of contrast dye is gently introduced through the cervix into the uterus and fallopian tubes. As the dye flows, real-time X-ray images are taken to reveal any blockages, structural abnormalities like polyps or fibroids, or scarring that could be preventing pregnancy. It is a crucial diagnostic step for investigating female infertility, recurrent miscarriages, or prior tubal surgery. The procedure is typically quick, performed as an outpatient, and provides vital information to guide personalized fertility treatment plans.
