What is hysterosalpingography? - Indications and results

Fertility tests

When a couple or woman with fertility problems comes for the first time to an assisted reproduction center, a clinical history is opened in which different aspects of their reproductive life are valued. For example, if they have previous children, how long have they been trying, etc.

Then, depending on the information collected, both men and women will be subjected to a series of tests to analyze the state of their fertility.

Among the tests that are requested to check female fertility is hysterosalpingography, also known by names such as histogram, uterosalpingography, uterotubography or Cotte test.

In general, this diagnostic test is very feared by women due to the discomfort it causes during its performance and subsequent recovery. However, you can give a lot of information to doctors about the causes of infertility and the possible treatment to follow to get the pregnancy.

Other medical tests that are requested along with the HSG are the ultrasound and the hormonal profile, which provides information about the ovarian reserve and the ovulatory capacity of the woman.



How is hysterosalpingography done?

The HSG is a test very similar to radiography, in which a radiopaque contrast is injected inside the cervix to be able to observe the anatomy of the cervix, uterus and fallopian tubes through an X-ray machine.

Next, we will discuss all the details to take into account to make a hysterosalpingography, what it consists of and how is its recovery.
