Can hysterosalpingography reveal uterine adhesions?

Patient's question:

Booked for a tubal contrast examination tomorrow to check for infertility. Can a tubal contrast examination reveal uterine adhesions?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Hysterosalpingography (HSG) not only checks whether the fallopian tubes are patent but also examines whether the uterus has congenital abnormalities (such as a saddle uterus, unicornuate uterus, etc.), and can also determine if there is intrauterine adhesion. Under normal circumstances, the uterine volume is approximately 5 milliliters, and its shape is inverted triangular. If there is intrauterine adhesion, the shape of the uterine cavity will change again.
