Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) and fallopian tube recanalization can play crucial roles in addressing female infertility. An HSG is an imaging procedure that allows us to assess the structure and openness of the fallopian tubes and the uterine cavity. It helps identify blockages or abnormalities that could hinder conception. If the fallopian tubes are found to be blocked, a fallopian tube recanalization procedure can be performed to restore patency. This procedure involves using specialized tools to clear the blockage, potentially improving the chances of natural conception. Together, these interventions can significantly enhance fertility outcomes by identifying and treating common causes of infertility, offering hope to many women striving to conceive.
During a Hysterosalpingography (HSG) procedure, a special dye is injected into the uterus through the cervix while X-ray images are taken to examine the uterus and fallopian tubes.
Patients can expect some mild cramping or discomfort during the procedure as the dye is introduced. The procedure typically lasts 15-30 minutes, and while it’s minimally invasive, some patients may experience spotting or light bleeding afterward. It’s usually done in a clinic or outpatient setting, and most women can resume normal activities shortly after. The results help identify issues like blocked fallopian tubes or uterine abnormalities.
Fallopian tube recanalization is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat blocked fallopian tubes, which can be a cause of infertility. During the procedure, a small catheter is inserted through the cervix into the uterus, and a special dye is used to open up blocked tubes, restoring their function.
Patients can expect mild discomfort or cramping during the procedure, which typically lasts about 30-60 minutes. Some spotting or light bleeding may occur afterward, and there is generally a short recovery time. The procedure can improve fertility by allowing eggs to pass through the fallopian tubes. Most women can return to normal activities within a day or two.
