Patient's question:
I saw a hysterosalpingogram listed under the gynecological examination items. What conditions require a hysterosalpingogram?Doctor's answer:
Hysterosalpingography primarily involves injecting contrast medium into the uterine cavity. By carefully observing the diffusion of the contrast medium into the pelvic region of the fallopian tubes under X-ray, it mainly aims to assess whether there is any blockage in the fallopian tubes. This procedure is generally used as a detailed examination for infertility. If a couple has been trying to conceive for more than two years without success, they are often recommended to undergo hysterosalpingography to rule out the possibility of fallopian tube blockage as the cause.
