What is a Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) test?

This test involves having a dye inserted by a thin tube into the cervix. The dye is pushed into the fallopian tubes and uterus, pictures are taken by x-ray as the dye passes through. It usually takes around 30 minutes. The test is carried out to find the cause of a woman not being able to conceive.

It helps to see if fallopian tubes are blocked by infection, which has caused scarring and prevented pregnancy in the past. Sometimes the process of inserting the dye will push through and unblock the tube.

Women who have had numerous miscarriages or painful periods may find to have an abnormal uterus secondary to fibroids, polyps, injury or adhesions which all can be seen during this procedure. You could also have a HSG after having a Tubal Ligation to see if the procedure has been successful.

Some studies have indicated a slight increase in fertility when a HSG has been performed, lasting 3 - 4 months after.

Your consultant will perform your test as well as a radiographer, who will be able to talk you and explain the process while doing it. You will be offered pain relief, as it may cause mild to moderate pain. It is also advised to have some at home.

After your procedure

We advise that you have someone with you to drive you home, as you may experience abdominal cramps. You may return to work when you feel able. Your consultant will inform you of post procedure instructions before you leave the hospital.

What our patients say

" I found all the staff at Pall Mall Medical kind, helpful and courteous. I was always offered a drink on arrival to the clinic (the reception staff could not have been nicer). The procedure was explained well and I felt very relaxed during the operation itself. Mr Raghavan and the nursing staff made me feel cared for and that I was in very good hands. Could not be more pleased with the results and my experience at the clinic."

" Excellent service, 5 star treatment.From the great first impression of the lovely reception team, Megan and Raja, to Dr Vikram treatment. Cannot recommend Pall Mall Medical enough. I wouldn't go anywhere else with clean, stylish and exceptional surroundings, customer service at its best."

" Had a blood test though Pall Mall which took 18 hours to report back to me (Thanks to Rachel Harrison and Christina for quick reporting and help with my bloods). The results were a little elevated in regard to my prostate. I decided to have a MP- MRI of my prostate which is new technology being used and not available nationwide on the NHS. I spoke with Amanda Webster in the imaging department who made an appointment for me to have the scan within a few days and the results were to be reported 3-5 days later. On the day of the scan I was met by a gent called Steve who performed the scan and he immediately put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. Obviously after the scan waiting for the results is a very anxious and worrying time. Amanda who had booked the scan in the first instance kept in touch with me and answered all of my questions immediately during this anxious time. Amanda acted in such a professional and caring way and I will always remember how she helped me though a week filled with worry. I have had my results today and I am obviously delighted with them. DR Tudor talked them through with me at length and assured me. Overall I cannot rate Pall Mall Medical high enough and I hope the management realise what assets Amanda, Steve and Dr Tudor are to the company."
