Tubal Patency Test
Tubal Patency Test (Hysterosalpingogram, Dye Test)
A tubal patency test, commonly performed as a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) or dye test, is a diagnostic procedure to evaluate the openness of the fallopian tubes. It is crucial in fertility assessments, helping identify any blockages or structural issues that may hinder conception.
When a Tubal Patency Test Is Recommended
This test is recommended for women facing challenges with conception, as blocked or narrowed fallopian tubes can be a common cause of infertility.
Procedure Details
During the procedure, a contrast dye is gently introduced into the uterus and fallopian tubes, and X-rays or ultrasound images capture the dye’s flow, revealing any blockages. The test is typically performed on an outpatient basis and takes only a few minutes, providing valuable insights into reproductive health.
Post-Procedure Care
Mild cramping may occur following the test, but it usually subsides within a day. Dr. Nirmala Chandrashekar provides guidance on recovery and discusses any findings, along with appropriate treatment options if any issues are detected.
