Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an X-ray procedure that is used to view the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes. It is often used to see if the fallopian tubes are partly or fully blocked.
- Fallopian tube recanalization (FTR) is a nonsurgical procedure to clear blockages in the fallopian tubes.
- The procedure is done under sterile conditions to avoid the possibility of introducing infection.
- The overall time to do the procedure is about a half an hour, most of which is spent in getting you comfortable, readying the equipment, and cleaning the skin.
- The actual time spent in evaluating and unblocking the tubes is usually only a matter of minutes and you will be able to leave about a half hour after your procedure is completed.
- The success rate of reopening blocked tube(s) is 95%.
1. Hysterosalpingography (HSG):
HSG is a radiological test that involves the injection of a contrast medium (dye) into the uterine cavity through the cervix. X-ray images are then captured to visualize the uterine and tubal structures, allowing for the assessment of their patency and any abnormalities.
done for-
- Infertility
- Tubal Blockage
2. Fallopian Tube Recanalization (FTR):
FTR is a procedure aimed at reopening blocked fallopian tubes to restore fertility. It can be performed in conjunction with HSG.
- FTR is typically recommended when HSG identifies tubal blockages as a potential cause of infertility.
