FAQs

What is Hysterosalpingography (HSG) – Contrast?

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a contrast-enhanced X-ray examination of the uterus and fallopian tubes. A water-soluble iodinated contrast agent is gently injected through the cervix to evaluate the shape of the uterine cavity and determine whether the fallopian tubes are open.

Why is an HSG performed?

HSG is commonly performed to investigate female infertility, blocked fallopian tubes, recurrent miscarriages, uterine abnormalities, uterine adhesions (Asherman's syndrome), congenital uterine anomalies, uterine polyps, submucosal fibroids, and other conditions affecting the reproductive system.

Which structures are examined during the test?

The examination evaluates the uterine cavity, cervix, both fallopian tubes, and the passage of contrast into the pelvic cavity, helping assess the structure and function of the female reproductive tract.

Can HSG detect blocked fallopian tubes?

Yes. HSG is one of the most commonly used investigations to determine whether one or both fallopian tubes are blocked or open (patent).

Can HSG detect uterine abnormalities?

Yes. It can identify congenital uterine abnormalities, uterine adhesions, polyps, submucosal fibroids, septate uterus, bicornuate uterus, and other abnormalities of the uterine cavity.
