HSG Test (Hysterosalpingography)

Simple X-ray Test to Check Uterus & Fallopian Tube Health

At Good News IVF, the HSG test helps us understand if your uterus and fallopian tubes are clear and healthy—key information when planning fertility treatment. It’s a quick outpatient procedure performed by our experienced team.

What is an HSG Test?

HSG (Hysterosalpingography) is a specialized X-ray where a contrast dye is gently introduced into the uterus through the cervix. As the dye outlines the uterine cavity and tubes, X-ray images show whether the tubes are open and if the cavity is normal.

When is HSG Recommended?

• Unexplained infertility
• Suspected blocked fallopian tubes
• Recurrent pregnancy loss or implantation failure
• To assess uterine shape (polyps, fibroids, adhesions, septum)
• Pre-IVF / IUI evaluation

How the HSG is Done

1. Preparation

Scheduled after periods (before ovulation). A mild painkiller/antispasmodic may be advised. Procedure takes ~10–15 minutes.

2. Procedure

A thin catheter is placed through the cervix. Contrast dye is slowly injected while X-ray images are taken to visualize the uterus and tubes.

3. Aftercare

You can go home the same day. Mild cramping/spotting can occur for a short time. Results and next steps are discussed promptly.

Benefits of HSG

• Identifies blocked or narrowed fallopian tubes
• Reveals uterine cavity issues affecting implantation
• Quick, minimally invasive, same-day test
• May transiently improve tubal patency in some patients
