Hysterosalpingogram for Infertility (HSG)
This is an x-ray performed under fluoroscope to determine whether the fallopian tubes are open and if the uterine cavity is normal. This test is often done for women who are having difficulty becoming pregnant, however, this xray should not be done if pregnancy is suspected.
PRE-APPOINTMENT PREPARATION
- Must be scheduled between day 7-10 of menstrual period. NO intercourse since last menstrual period.
Hysterosalpingogram for Essure Sterilization-Essure is one of the newest methods of sterilzation, where micro -inserts are placed in a location where the fallopian tubes have been blocked. A hysterosalpingogram is performed to check the patency of the tubes and make sure that both tubes have been blocked.
Prep for Hysterosalpingogram (Post Essure procedure for sterilzation)
PRE-APPOINTMENT PREPARATION
- NO intercourse 3 days prior to Essure procedure
NOTE: All ESSURE patients MUST have a blood (not a urinalysis) pregnancy test within 24 hours of the procedure. You will need to bring the results with you or have them faxed to us. If we do not have a blood pregnancy test we cannot do the exam.
Note: In general, laboratories are not open on Sundays, so any Monday appointments for this procedure would not have lab results back.
