Hysterosalpingography (HSG)

HSG test involves examining the interior of uterus and fallopian tubes. On contrary to other tests, this test is performed by an ob/gyn physician accompanied by a radiologist, in the department of radiology. Following an examination given by ob/gyn physician and a special radiopaque material introduced into the uterus, X-ray is taken for a few times. After these X-rays are approved by Radiology Department, reports are received from Radiology Department and brought to ob/gyn physician.

Considerations before HSG

You should apply to the obstetrics outpatient clinic with the special liquid prescribed to you and be available in the HSG room located in Radiology Department by bringing along the medical materials given to you in HSG room as well. You should give the materials to your physician here and wait in the waiting room. When your turn comes, your physician will contact you.

The patient should not be menstruating during HSG. The procedure can be performed between days 6 to 12, the first day starting with day 1 of your menstruation. An empty stomach is not required, having a light breakfast is recommended.
