What is a Sonohysterogram?
A sonohysterogram is a short, minimally invasive imaging study of the uterus and fallopian tubes. The study is used to diagnose the cause of underlying pelvic pain, irregular vaginal bleeding, miscarriages and infertility. Our team of professionals will perform the procedure in two parts; preliminary pelvic ultrasound followed by the sonohysterogram the next day. A thin catheter is placed through the cervix into the uterus. Normal saline ( a salt water solution) is instilled through the catheter to allow us to see the inside of the uterus and check the fallopian tubes.
