Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a specialized X-ray procedure used to examine the uterus (womb) and fallopian tubes. It helps detect blockages, structural abnormalities, and fertility-related conditions affecting a woman’s reproductive system.

At Shalaka Imaging Center, we provide high-precision HSG imaging to assist in diagnosing and managing gynecological and fertility concerns.

How Does HSG Work?

1. Contrast Injection – A special contrast dye is gently injected into the uterus through the cervix.
2. X-Ray Imaging – A series of fluoroscopic X-ray images are taken to track the flow of the dye.
3. Evaluation – If the fallopian tubes are open, the dye flows through them and spills into the abdominal cavity. If blocked, the dye is stopped at the obstruction site.

The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis.

Uses of Hysterosalpingography (HSG)

HSG is widely used in the evaluation of female reproductive health, particularly for:

1. Infertility Assessment

• Determines whether the fallopian tubes are open or blocked, which can impact conception.
• Identifies uterine abnormalities that may interfere with pregnancy.

2. Diagnosis of Gynecological Disorders

• Detects uterine fibroids, polyps, adhesions, and congenital malformations.
• Evaluates scar tissue inside the uterus caused by infections or previous surgeries.

3. Post-Surgical Evaluation

• Checks the success of fallopian tube surgeries, such as tubal ligation reversal.
• Monitors the uterus after surgeries like fibroid removal.

Advantages of HSG

• Accurate Diagnosis – Provides detailed imaging of the uterus and fallopian tubes.
• Minimally Invasive – A simple outpatient procedure with no incisions.
• Quick & Effective – Completed in less than 30 minutes with immediate image results.
• Radiation-Free Alternatives Available – While HSG uses X-rays, some cases may be evaluated with sonohysterography (ultrasound-based method).
• Potential Therapeutic Benefit – In some cases, the dye may help clear minor tube blockages, improving fertility.
