Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy is an advanced imaging technique that uses continuous X-ray beams to produce real-time moving images of internal body structures. It allows doctors to observe the function of organs, joints, and blood flow, making it highly useful for both diagnosis and guided procedures.

Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is a specialized X-ray procedure used to evaluate the uterus and fallopian tubes, primarily in women facing infertility issues. During the procedure, a contrast dye is gently introduced into the uterus to visualize the shape of the uterine cavity and check whether the fallopian tubes are open or blocked.

Specialized imaging to assess uterine cavity and tubal patency.

HSG (Hysterosalpingography) is a specialized X-ray procedure used to examine the uterus and fallopian tubes. A contrast dye is gently injected into the uterus to check whether the fallopian tubes are open and to identify any abnormalities that may affect fertility.

HSG is usually performed:

After menstrual periods but before ovulation
As part of an infertility evaluation
When there is difficulty in conceiving
To check blocked fallopian tubes
After recurrent miscarriages
Following certain gynecological procedures or surgeries

Helps identify blocked fallopian tubes
Evaluates the shape and condition of the uterus
Assists in diagnosing infertility issues
Detects uterine abnormalities, adhesions, or polyps
Quick, minimally invasive diagnostic procedure
Helps doctors plan appropriate fertility treatment

Doing an HSG can help determine possible causes of infertility and improve the chances of successful treatment. In some cases, the procedure may even help open mildly blocked tubes, increasing the possibility of natural conception.
