Women's fertility imaging with clear guidance and patient-centred care.
HSG Fertility Screening
If you have been referred for a Hysterosalpingography (HSG), you may have questions about what the examination involves, when it should be scheduled and what you may experience during the procedure.
Dr. Gyathri has a particular interest in women's and fertility-related imaging, including HSG.
Before the examination, the procedure and what to expect will be explained to you. Throughout the examination, communication is maintained so that you understand what is happening at each stage.
What Is HSG?
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is an imaging examination used as part of fertility assessment.
Because the examination needs to be performed during an appropriate period of the menstrual cycle, your appointment timing will depend on your cycle and the required pre-procedure screening.
Before your appointment is confirmed, you will be asked a short set of questions to determine whether the examination is appropriate and to identify the suitable timing.
What to Expect?
Before the
Examination
Your menstrual cycle and pre-procedure requirements will be reviewed before your appointment is confirmed.
You will also have an opportunity to ask questions about the examination.
During the
Examination
The HSG procedure itself generally takes around 10 minutes.
Each stage will be explained before and during the examination, with communication throughout the procedure.
Some women may experience temporary cramping or discomfort, although every patient's experience is different.
After the
Examination
The images will be assessed following the examination.
The main findings can usually be discussed with you following the procedure, while the formal radiology report will be prepared as soon as possible.
