A Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to examine the uterus and fallopian tubes. It involves injecting a contrast dye into the uterus and taking X-ray images to check for blockages or abnormalities.
Doctors recommend an HSG test mainly to evaluate infertility and reproductive health. It helps identify structural problems in the uterus or fallopian tubes that may prevent conception. If the tubes are blocked, the egg and sperm cannot meet, making pregnancy difficult.
The test is also used to check the condition of the uterus. It can detect abnormalities such as uterine fibroids, polyps, adhesions, or congenital defects in the uterine cavity. These conditions may interfere with implantation or pregnancy.
Another reason for performing an HSG is to evaluate the results of certain procedures. For example, it may be used to confirm whether fallopian tube sterilization has been successful or to assess the uterus after surgery.
Overall, the test provides detailed information about reproductive organs and helps doctors plan the most appropriate fertility treatment.
HSG is performed for several important diagnostic purposes:
• Evaluate infertility
The test helps identify whether the fallopian tubes are open or blocked, which can affect pregnancy.
• Detect uterine abnormalities
It can detect issues such as uterine shape abnormalities, fibroids, or polyps.
• Check fallopian tube blockages
The procedure helps determine if scar tissue or infection has blocked the tubes.
• Assess reproductive health
Doctors use the test to evaluate the overall condition of the uterus and tubes before fertility treatments.
Doctors may recommend an HSG for patients who:
• Have difficulty getting pregnant.
• Experience repeated miscarriages.
• Need evaluation before fertility treatments such as IVF.
• May have blocked fallopian tubes or uterine abnormalities.
1. Preparation
The patient lies on an examination table similar to a pelvic exam. A speculum is inserted to view the cervix.
2. Dye Injection
A thin catheter is placed into the uterus, and a contrast dye is injected.
3. X-Ray Imaging
X-ray images are taken as the dye flows through the uterus and fallopian tubes.
4. Evaluation
Doctors examine the images to determine if the tubes are open and whether the uterus appears normal.
• Procedure time: Usually 15–30 minutes.
• Setting: Performed in a radiology department or fertility clinic.
• Hospital stay: Outpatient procedure (no hospital admission required).
Although generally safe, possible risks include:
• Mild pelvic pain or cramping
• Allergic reaction to contrast dye
• Infection
• Spotting or light bleeding
Precautions
• Inform the doctor if you may be pregnant.
• Avoid the test during menstruation.
• Follow post-procedure care instructions.
• Conventional X-ray HSG
Uses contrast dye and X-ray imaging to evaluate reproductive structures.
• Sonohysterography (Alternative test)
Uses ultrasound instead of X-ray to evaluate the uterus.
Recovery is usually quick:
• Mild cramping may occur for a few hours.
• Some light vaginal spotting is possible.
• Most patients can return to normal activities the same day.
• Pain relievers may help reduce discomfort.
It is used to check the uterus and fallopian tubes for blockages or abnormalities that may cause infertility.
Some women experience mild cramping during the procedure, but the discomfort usually lasts only a short time.
The test usually takes around 15–30 minutes.
Some women may conceive after the test if minor blockages are cleared during the dye injection.
It is usually done after menstruation but before ovulation.
Risks are minimal but may include infection, allergic reaction, or mild pelvic pain.
Most patients can resume normal activities the same day.
Doctors may recommend it to evaluate fallopian tubes and uterine health before fertility treatments.
