UTERUS
It situated between the urinary bladder and the rectum. The site of implantation of fertilized ovum. Development of the fetus during pregnancy and labor.
OVARIES
The female gonads are paired glands that resemble unshelled almonds in size and shape. Produce secondary oocytes and hormones, including progesterone and estrogens, inhibin and relaxin.
UTERINE TUBES
Two uterine tubes that extends laterally from the uterus. Provide a route for sperm to reach an ovum. Sites where fertilization occurs.
WHAT IS HYSTEROSALPINGOGRAPHY?
An x-ray procedure performed to determine whether the
fallopian tubes are patent (open) and to see if the shape of the uterine cavity is normal. Usually done after the menstrual period has ended, but before ovulation to prevent interference with an early pregnancy.
PURPOSE
The radiographic demonstration of the female
reproductive tract with a contrast medium. To diagnose any functional or structural defects. Best demonstrates the uterine cavity and the patency (degree of openness) of the uterine tubes.
INDICATIONS
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Infertility. Recurrent miscarriage. Confirm tubal and uterine abnormalities Follow-up to some surgical procedures.
Pregnancy
Active uterine bleeding Pelvic Inflammatory disease (PID) Recent curettage or active genital tract infection.
PATIENT PREPARATION
Patient need to take laxative to empty their bowels. (the uterus surrounding structures can see clearly.)
Inform if have any allergic to iodinated contrast medium.
In addition to the HSG tray: 10 ml syringes (usually use two pieces) Sterilized pair of gloves An antiseptic solution, a cannula or balloon catheter
PROCEDURE
Patient in lithotomy position
Then the cannula will inserted and the speculum will removed
Radiograph taken until fallopian tubes fill and contrast injected spillage is seen at peritoneum
