Practice shows that in about 12-33% of cases infertility in women is caused by fallopian tube obstruction. In diagnosis of female infertility, tubal patency testing is one of the initial examinations.
Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is one of non-invasive (not involving extensive or substantial interference with the human body) methods of examination for women. With HSG, a gynaecologist can assess the condition of the womb and fallopian tubes using ultrasound and a contrast fluid.
This examination does not require any anaesthesia as contrast is injected into the cervical canal through a thin catheter.
In addition to tubal patency , this method allows to determine the size of the womb, its shape and possible change and specifics thereof and also indirectly adhesion process in the small pelvis.
iVF Riga offers HyFoSy (Hysterosalpingo Foam Sonography) tubal patency test with ExEm foam.
Practice shows that in about 12-33% of cases infertility in women is caused by fallopian tube obstruction. In diagnosis of female infertility, tubal patency testing is one of the initial examinations.
HyFoSy with ExEm foam is a non-invasive tubal patency testing procedure with ultrasound control. It does not require anaesthesia. In terms of results, HyFoSy with ExEm foam can be compared with tube X-ray and offers a 100% result.
During HyFoSy manipulation, ExEm foam, which is clearly visible under ultrasound control as it moves through the womb and fallopian tubes, is injected into the womb through a catheter. If the fallopian tubes are open, ExEm foam moves to the abdominal cavity and is cleared from the body within 24 hours. If tubes are obstructed, ExEm foam does not reach the fallopian tubes and is cleared from the body through the vagina within a few hours. The procedure is harmless for the women’s body and does not require hospitalisation. The tubal patency test itself takes about 30 minutes.After the HyFoSy procedure, a woman can get back to her normal lifestyle already in an hour.
