Struggling to conceive? An HSG test (Hysterosalpingography) could reveal why! In this video, Dr. Sudeshna Saha, a leading Fertility Specialist in Kolkata, demystifies this critical fertility test—how it works, when to do it, and how it doubles as a treatment for some couples!
🔍 What is an HSG Test?
Checks for blockages in fallopian tubes (a common cause of infertility).
Done on Day 9/10 of your menstrual cycle.
Quick OPD procedure with a radiologist + gynecologist.
🌟 How It Works:
Special dye is injected into the uterus.
X-ray imaging tracks dye movement:
Flows freely = Tubes are open.
Blocked = Dye stops at the obstruction.
💡 Bonus Benefit:
HSG can clear minor adhesions, potentially improving fertility in the next 2-3 cycles!
📌 When is HSG Recommended?
After 1 year of trying (or 6 months if over 35).
Recurrent miscarriages/pelvic infections.
