Please call 717-544-5941 on cycle 1 of your menses (first day of full flow) to schedule an HSG.
These tests will be performed between days 5-10 of your menstrual cycle.
If you do not have regular menstrual cycles, your doctor will order bloodwork and/or an ultrasound to determine when it is most appropriate to schedule these tests.
The purpose of the HSG is to determine whether the fallopian tubes are open and the uterine contour is normal. The SIS evaluates the inside layer of the uterine cavity. These tests are important because a routine transvaginal or abdominal ultrasound cannot visualize the inside of the uterine cavity or the fallopian tubes.
In the case of the HSG, an X-ray is used to evaluate the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. This will be performed at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health’s Radiology Department. An SIS uses saline (salt water) during a transvaginal ultrasound and is performed at Penn Fertility Care – Lancaster General Health.
These procedures are considered very safe, but there are some risks that you should be aware of:
