After the procedure, all questions such as whether there is obstruction in the tubes in the uterus, whether there is stenosis or width in the uterus are answered.

In addition, it can be used to detect adhesions in the uterus (Asherman’s Syndrome), which can often occur after a previous abortion surgery or miscarriage.

What is medicated HSG Uterine Film?
One of the first tests requested for women who cannot conceive despite unprotected and regular intercourse for at least 12 months is medicated uterine film.
In medicated uterine film, fluid (contrast) is given into the uterus through the cervix to be visualised during the procedure. After the fluid is administered, the uterine tubes and the inside of the uterus are visualised. This fluid contains iodine salt, which is responsible for holding X-rays. Thus, the inside of the uterus can be visualised with the help of X-rays. This fluid is an odourless, colourless, non-caustic compound. It does not cause any harm to the organs and tissues in the uterus. On the contrary, since this fluid is administered through the cervix with pressure, in some cases it can have a therapeutic effect by cleaning the mucus-like layers and obstructive structures that may form in the ducts.
The medicated uterine film procedure is completed within 5-15 minutes. After the procedure, patients can continue their daily routine life.
To Whom Should HSG Uterine Film Be Offered?
- Infertility
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Suspicion of adhesions in the uterus
- Before IVF Treatment
