Hysterosonosalpingography
Whats is Hysterosonosalpingography?
This test allows us to examine the uterine cavity and the fallopian tubes via a transvaginal ultrasound scan.
What is the technique used in Hysterosonosalpingography?
This procedure consists of introducing a fine probe through the cervix, and then injecting physiological saline, this allows us to see inside the uterine cavity and the subsequent flow of the liquid through the fallopian tubes.
It is done following menstruation but before ovulation, at around day 11-12 of the cycle. We usually recommend antibiotic prophylaxis prior to the procedure.
The examination is quick and is carried out in the surgery. After the test, you may feel some discomfort similar to menstrual pain which can be relieved with an anti-inflammatory medication
Frequently asked questions about reproduction treatments
If you would like more information about our treatments, we are always available to help and answer any of your questions.
How long do I have to wait to start treatment?
How many attempts can I make?
In the case of artificial insemination, here at the clinic we recommend a maximum of four attempts, since 90% of pregnancies occur in the first four cycles.
Regarding In-vitro fertilisation or microinjection, our clinic never makes more than four attempts using these techniques.
In the case of egg donation, it is more difficult to establish a limit, this will normally be determined by psychological and also economic factors.
Can you use these techniques when you have already entered menopause?
In these cases, the reception of eggs from a donor must be used.
What are the biggest concerns of egg or sperm recipient couples?
Another factor that concerns a couple is the health of the donors and the physical resemblance to them.
In our centre, both in the case of sperm donors and egg donors, our goal is to seek that the physical resemblance is as similar as possible to the parents.
Are these treatments expensive?
Clínica Fertia is a pioneer in maintaining an honest and transparent policy. Since 2002 we have published the information of the cost of our treatments on our website.
