Sonohysterogram (SHG)

What is Sonohysterogram (SHG) ?

Heading

Sonohysterogram, often known as SHG, is an ultrasound scan procedure used to assess the reproductive organs in the female pelvic. The cervix, or neck of the womb, is used to insert a tiny catheter (uterus). Through this catheter, a tiny amount of fluid is injected to delineate the uterine cavity, which aids in identifying numerous problems. Usually, this exam is finished in within 30 minutes.

What is detected by SHG?

SHG is a test used to identify the root cause of disorders like infertility, recurrent miscarriages, and abnormal uterine flow. SHG can find:Uterus with an abnormal shapeAbnormal growths, such as polyps or fibroids, inside the uterusThe uterus's internal scar tissue is present

How is SHG implemented?

SHG is often carried out towards the end of the menstrual cycle. The test can be done at any time on females who are not menstruation, including postmenopausal women or those taking medications to suppress the menstrual cycle.A vaginal ultrasound examination is conducted first.The next procedure involves inserting a tiny catheter into the uterine cavity through the cervix.The uterus is injected with sterile saline solution before an ultrasound scan is conducted.Saline solution is injected into the uterus, helping to outline the uterine walls and cavities. This makes it possible to see abnormalities like polyps, fibroids, or scar tissue inside the uterus.

Is it safe to practise SHG?

In general, SHG is a safe procedure. Cramping or pain may be experienced by certain women. A extremely uncommon but possibly serious side effect of a SHG surgery is pelvic infection.
