What is a sonohysterography?

Sonohysterography is a special kind of ultrasound exam. Fluid is put into the uterus through the cervix using a thin plastic tube. Sound waves are then used to create images of the lining of the uterus. The fluid helps show more detail than when ultrasound is used alone. This test can be done in your OB-GYN’s office, a hospital, or a clinic. It usually takes less than 30 minutes.

Sonohysterography can find the underlying cause of many problems, including abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, and repeated miscarriage. It is able to detect the following:

  • Abnormal growths inside the uterus, such as fibroids or polyps, and information about their size and depth
  • Scar tissue inside the uterus
  • Abnormal uterine shape
  • Problems with the lining of the uterus
  • Whether the fallopian tubes are open or blocked
