What it is
A Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is a simple X-ray test that checks the inside of your uterus and whether your fallopian tubes are open. A small amount of contrast dye is gently passed through the cervix, and X-ray images show how the dye fills the uterine cavity and flows through the tubes. It is one of the most common first-line tests used in the assessment of fertility.
The aim is to look for blocked or narrowed fallopian tubes, the shape of the uterine cavity, and possible problems such as polyps, fibroids affecting the cavity, scarring, or a congenital (from birth) variation in the uterus. As a trusted gynecologist in Faisalabad, Dr. Abeera Ali uses HSG findings to guide the next steps in your care.
Who needs it
Your doctor may suggest an HSG if you are facing difficulty conceiving or have had repeated pregnancy loss. It is also useful in certain other situations. You may benefit from this test if you have:
- Trouble getting pregnant after trying for a year (or six months if you are over 35)
- A history of recurrent miscarriage
- Suspected blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
- A possible abnormality in the shape of the uterus
- A need to check the tubes after certain surgery or reversal of tubal ligation
The test is usually scheduled in the first half of your cycle, after your period has finished and before ovulation, to avoid an early pregnancy. Access to clear, professional fertility assessment in Pakistan means you do not need to face these questions alone.
What to expect
The HSG is a short outpatient procedure that usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes. You lie down as for a routine pelvic exam, a thin tube is placed into the cervix, and the dye is slowly introduced while a few X-ray images are taken.
During the test
Many women feel cramping similar to period pain, along with a feeling of fullness. This is normal and settles quickly. Taking a simple pain reliever beforehand, as advised, can make you more comfortable.
After the test
You can usually go home the same day and return to normal activity. Mild cramping and a little spotting or sticky discharge from the dye may occur for a day or two. Your results are explained to you clearly, and Dr. Abeera Ali will discuss what they mean and plan your next steps together.
Please seek care if you develop heavy bleeding, fever, severe pain, or a foul-smelling discharge after the procedure.
