Hysterosalpingography (HSG)

Your Path to Clarity in Fertility

HSG Test at NovoLife

Your Path to Clarity in Fertility

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a specialized X-ray procedure designed to assess the health of the uterus and fallopian tubes. At NovoLife in Gujrat, our expert gynecologists use this test to identify blockages, adhesions, or structural concerns that may impact fertility.

What is an HSG Test?

HSG (Hysterosalpingography) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a contrast dye and fluoroscopy (a specialized X-ray) to visualize the reproductive organs. It helps determine if the fallopian tubes are open and if the uterus is structurally normal.

HSG Test Procedure at NovoLife

Preparation

The test is scheduled between days 6-10 of the menstrual cycle to avoid pregnancy and ensure clear imaging.

Speculum Insertion

A speculum is gently inserted into the vagina to keep it open.

Contrast Dye Injection

A thin catheter introduces a contrast dye into the uterus.

X-ray Imaging

As the dye moves through the reproductive system, X-ray images are taken to identify blockages or abnormalities.

Completion

The entire procedure takes about 15-30 minutes, after which most patients can resume their normal activities.

Best Time for an HSG Test

For optimal results, the HSG test should be performed just after menstruation but before ovulation (typically between days 6-10 of the cycle). This ensures the uterus is clear and eliminates the risk of interference from an early pregnancy.

Possible Side Effects of the HSG Test

While the procedure is generally safe, some women may experience:

  • Mild cramping
  • Light spotting for a day or two
  • Rare allergic reaction to the contrast dye
  • Infection (very rare)

If the contrast dye does not pass through one or both fallopian tubes, it may indicate a blockage. Blocked tubes can prevent sperm from reaching the egg, contributing to infertility. Based on the results, our specialists at NovoLife may recommend further diagnostic tests or treatments.

The cost of an HSG test varies depending on the facility and location. At NovoLife, we provide affordable and professional services.

HSG Test Price in Pakistan: In Gujrat, the HSG test price ranges from PKR 5,000 to PKR 15,000, depending on the hospital or diagnostic center. NovoLife offers competitive rates and high-quality care for an optimal patient experience.

The HSG X-ray provides clear images of the reproductive system. The essential instruments used include:

  • Speculum
  • Catheter
  • Contrast dye
  • X-ray machine with fluoroscopy
Benefits of the HSG Test
  • Diagnoses blocked fallopian tubes
  • Identifies uterine abnormalities
  • Helps assess infertility causes
  • May improve chances of pregnancy by clearing minor blockages

If your HSG test results are normal, your doctor may advise continuing natural conception or exploring assisted reproductive techniques. If abnormalities or blockages are detected, further treatments such as laparoscopy, IVF, or medications may be recommended.

Some women conceive naturally following an HSG test, as the procedure can clear minor blockages. Early pregnancy symptoms include:

  • Missed periods
  • Nausea
  • Fatigue
  • Breast tenderness

If you suspect pregnancy after your HSG test, visit NovoLife for confirmation and expert guidance.

Most women experience mild to moderate cramping, similar to menstrual discomfort. The pain level varies, but it is generally temporary. Taking an over-the-counter pain reliever before the test can help minimize discomfort.
