What is Sonosalpingography (SSG) test?

Also referred to as sonohysterography, uterine sonosalpingography is a minimally invasive imaging method designed to assess the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. This technique integrates ultrasound imaging with the introduction of saline solution into the uterus, enabling detailed visualization of uterine structures and the identification of any abnormalities that could influence fertility.

We incorporate uterine sonosalpingography into our thorough infertility assessment protocol. This procedure empowers our fertility specialists to evaluate the shape, size, and contour of the uterine cavity, while also identifying any irregularities such as polyps, fibroids, adhesions, or congenital anomalies that may affect fertility.

Moreover, uterine sonosalpingography yields crucial insights regarding the patency of the fallopian tubes, which is vital for natural conception. By observing the flow of saline solution through the fallopian tubes, our specialists can ascertain the presence of any blockages or obstructions that could impede the fertilization process.

A notable benefit of uterine sonosalpingography is its minimally invasive nature, which is generally well-tolerated by most patients. The procedure can be conducted in our office, typically requiring less than 30 minutes to complete, and involves minimal discomfort. Most patients are able to return to their regular activities immediately following the procedure.

With the valuable information obtained from uterine sonosalpingography, our fertility experts are equipped to formulate individualized treatment plans that cater to each patient’s specific needs and circumstances. This may include surgical interventions to rectify uterine abnormalities or assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization.
