Sonohysterogram (Ultrasound) Tests
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.
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
SHG is typically performed at the end of the menstrual cycle but can be done anytime for non-menstruating women, including those postmenopausal or on menstrual-suppressing medications. The procedure begins with a vaginal ultrasound, followed by inserting a small catheter through the cervix into the uterus. A sterile saline solution is then injected, outlining the uterine walls and cavity during the ultrasound. This enhances visibility, helping detect abnormalities like polyps, fibroids, or scar tissue.
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.
