Reasons for Performing Sonohysterography and Who Needs It

Sonohysterography is an advanced ultrasound imaging technique used to examine the inside of the uterus and assess its health. This procedure involves injecting a sterile saline solution into the uterus while simultaneously performing an ultrasound to obtain a clearer view of the uterine cavity.

Why is Sonohysterography Necessary?

This method helps doctors accurately diagnose uterine abnormalities. The main reasons for performing sonohysterography include:

Evaluating Causes of Infertility and Recurrent Miscarriages

Assessing congenital uterine abnormalities (such as a uterine septum)
Detecting intrauterine adhesions that may prevent embryo implantation

Investigating Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

Identifying the cause of heavy or irregular bleeding
Evaluating abnormal thickening of the endometrium

Detecting Uterine Polyps and Fibroids

Identifying endometrial polyps that may cause abnormal bleeding
Assessing fibroids inside the uterine cavity that could interfere with pregnancy

Monitoring Uterine Health After Surgery

Checking the uterus after procedures such as fibroid removal or treatment of adhesions
Evaluating the effects of intrauterine treatments on uterine structure

Assessing Fallopian Tube Blockage (in some cases)

In certain cases, sonohysterography can be used to check whether the fallopian tubes are open in women struggling with infertility.

Who Should Undergo Sonohysterography?

✅ Women experiencing infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss
✅ Individuals with abnormal bleeding or irregular menstrual cycles
✅ Patients suspected of having polyps, fibroids, or intrauterine adhesions
✅ Women who have had uterine surgery and need an evaluation
✅ Those planning pregnancy and require an assessment of their uterine health

Sonohysterography is a precise and minimally invasive method for evaluating uterine abnormalities, infertility causes, and abnormal bleeding. If your doctor recommends this ultrasound, it means a more detailed examination of your uterus is necessary. For further information, consult your specialist.
