HYSTEROSALPINGOGRAPHY
the patency and anatomy of the fallopian tubes and the endometrial cavity shall be investigated
when the test is done:
after the end of the period and up to just before ovulation
it is accompanied by slight pain, so the woman may take a light painkiller with an antispasmodic just before the test or be under sedation
Procedure:
is carried out through a simple probe that is applied to the cervix of the uterus, injecting the contrast material inside the uterus, which, when passed, delineates the shape of the uterus and the course of the fallopian tubes during the X-ray
so we can see any abnormalities in the uterine cavity and whether the fallopian tubes are dilated or if there are adhesions that prevent them from working
lasts about 10 minutes
