An HSG is a simple and non-invasive procedure providing useful information about your uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. It is a key step of your fertility journey. The results of the examination, combined with the other fertility tests you are undergoing, will help your doctor select the best treatment option for you. In some cases, an HSG may help you become pregnant.
The examination is usually done in less than 15 minutes. You may expect to be around for about 30 minutes with the preparation time. The procedure will be performed by your radiologist or your gynecologist, in a radiology clinic.
