Sonohysterography

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.

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.
