Answer 1

Hysterosalpingogram - HSG - fertility test for tubal patency and normalcy of uterine cavity

What is a hysterosalpingogram?

A hysterosalpingogram is an important test that is part of the basic infertility evaluation.

The HSG test is a radiology procedure usually done in the radiology department of a hospital (or outpatient radiology setting) in which radiographic contrast (dye) is injected into the uterine cavity through the v****a and cervix. The uterine cavity fills with dye and if the fallopian tubes are open the dye will then fill the tubes and spill out into the abdominal cavity. In this way it can be determined whether the fallopian tubes are open or blocked and whether the blockage is located at the junction of the tube and the uterus (proximal) or whether it is at the end of the fallopian tube (distal). These are the two areas where the tube is most commonly blocked. Very successful treatment for tubal factor infertility is available.

There are other things that potentially can be seen on a hysterosalpingogram other that whether the tubes are open or blocked. The uterine cavity is evaluated for the presence of congenital uterine anomalies, polyps, fibroid tumors or uterine scar tissue. The fallopian tubes are also examined for any defects within them, for suggestion of any partial blockage, and for evidence of pelvic scar tissue in the abdominal cavity around the tubes.
