X-RAY H.S.G (Hysterosalpingography) at Dr. Essa Laboratory and Diagnostic Centre
What is x ray hsg hysterosalpingography?
HSG is an x-ray test that looks at the uterus and fallopian tubes. It uses a contrast agent and a specific sort of x-ray called fluoroscopy.
X-ray examinations are used by doctors to diagnose and treat medical conditions. You are subjected to a little amount of ionising radiation in order to get photographs of the interior of the body. X-rays are the oldest and most used kind of diagnostic imaging. Fluoroscopy allows your doctor to view your moving interior organs. Your uterus and fallopian tubes will be filled with a water-soluble contrast substance by your doctor. Then, your radiologist will examine and evaluate them using fluoroscopy.
What does x ray hsg hysterosalpingography detect?
With the aid of x-rays and a special dye, a
hysterosalpingogram, also known as an HSG test, can identify fibroids, polyps,
scar tissue, and other growths that could be obstructing your fallopian tubes
or impeding a fertilized egg's ability to correctly implant in your uterus.
- The examination can look at recurrent miscarriages brought
on by inherited or acquired uterine issues like:
- Uterine tumors
- Uterine endometrial polyps
- Adhesions
- inherited issues (uterine anomalies)
- Tumors
What are the benefits of x ray hsg hysterosalpingography?
Benefits
- Complications are infrequent after this minimally invasive
examination.
- It can provide useful knowledge about issues with getting
pregnant or carrying a fetus to term.
- It might be able to unblock your fallopian tubes so you can
get pregnant in the future.
- Following an x-ray examination, your body absorbs no
radiation.
- In the conventional diagnostic range for this scan, X-rays
often don't have any negative side effects.
Risks
- For this process, different radiation doses are used. For
more information, visit the Radiation Dose page.
- If you have an untreated STD, an inflammatory illness, or a
pelvic infection, let the doctor and technologist know. This will assist you in
preventing the spread of any such infection.
- Women should always disclose their pregnancy to their doctor
and the x-ray technician. For further details about x-rays and pregnancy, visit
the Radiation Safety page.
A Few Words on Reducing Radiation Exposure
During x-ray tests, doctors take extreme care to use the least amount of radiation while creating the best images for analysis. The technical standards that radiology practitioners utilize are continuously reviewed and updated by national and worldwide organizations for radiological protection. By using managed x-ray beams and dosage reduction techniques, contemporary x-ray systems reduce stray (scatter) radiation. This guarantees that the parts of your body that aren't being photographed receive the least amount of radiation.
When should I know the results of x ray hsg hysterosalpingography?
When the fallopian tubes are open, it is frequently possible to notify you at the time of the HSG, but occasionally you must wait for the typed report on the HSG, which will be issued by a consultant radiologist a week or so later or some studies say that you can receive in 10 days.
X-ray hsg hysterosalpingography Test Price in Pakistan
The price range of the Hysterosalpingography (HSG) test is
12000. If the liquid dye passes through your fallopian tubes and leaks out,
proving that there are no obstructions, your HSG test findings are normal. (The
dye that was spilled seeps into your abdomen and is taken up by the body.)
The most frequent abnormalities discovered during an HSG are
likely endometrial polyps. These must be distinguished from air bubbles since
they look like filling flaws.
