Objective: To verify the current practice of postponing laparoscopy after a normal HSG in infertile couples with no evident cause of infertility, aiming at reducing the need for interventional investigations thus decreasing cost and risk. Study Design: Case series study including three hundred and thirty women. Patients and Methods: The women were categorized into two groups as follows: Group (...

abstract background and objective: to assess the diagnostic value of hysterosalpingography (hsg) in the evaluation of the uterine cavity in recurrent aborters in comparison to hysteroscopy as the gold standard of diagnosis. methods: 58 reproductive age women, all with habitual abortion (3 consecutive abortions), were examined by both hsg and hysteroscopy. results: the overall sensitivity and sp...

BACKGROUND Infertility is a common health problem requiring imaging to delineate the anatomical causes in women. Three dimensional multi-detector computed tomography hysterosalpingography (3D-MDCT-HSG) offers an easy workup for uterine, tubal and peritoneal factors. METHODS To present the spectrum of uterine, tubal and peritoneal factors on 3D-MDCT-HSG and determine its diagnostic accuracy fo...

Background Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a useful screening test for the evaluation of female infertility. Laparoscopy has proven role in routine infertility work up but role of hysteroscopy in an infertile patient with normal HSG for additional information is a subject of debate. Hysteroscopy permits direct visualization of the cervical canal and the uterine cavity and thereby helping in the ...

BACKGROUND A multicentre randomized controlled trial with or without hysterosalpingography (HSG) was conducted to assess the usefulness of HSG as a routine investigation in the fertility workup prior to laparoscopy and dye. METHODS From 1 April 1997 to 1 April 2002, subfertile women were allocated by a computer-based 1 : 1 ratio randomization procedure, either for an HSG followed by laparosco...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pregnancy rates of intrauterine insemination (IUI) and controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) in patients with one-sided tubal occlusion on hysterosalpingography (HSG). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent COH/IUI were enrolled into this retrospective cohort study. The patients with one-sided tubal occlusion diagnosed under...

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is generally considered a stressful and painful procedure; we aimed to evaluate whether a single education and counseling intervention could reduce women's distress and pain after undergoing HSG for infertility. Patients were randomized into control group (n = 108) and intervention group (n = 109). All patients filled the following questionnaires before and after HSG...

Background: This study showed the patterns and grading of Asherman’s syndrome on hysterosalpingography(HSG). Asherman’s syndrome (AS)which is termed as uterine synechiae, and intrauterine adhesions (IUA),result in trauma to the basal layer of the endometrium with subsequent scarring. This may be from previous pregnancy, dilation and curettage, surgery, or infection such as genital tuberculosis....

By retrieving records from Taiwan's National Health Insurance (NHI) system's database, the current study aimed to investigate the impacts of hysterosalpingography (HSG) to patients after ectopic pregnancy (EP) operations in Taiwan.In this retrospective cohort study, insurance claims data from 1997 to 2013, derived from a cohort of 1 million people randomly sampled to represent all NHI beneficia...

OBJECTIVES Presently, hysterosalpingography (HSG) is used as a means to evaluate women with infertility and repetitive pregnancy loss. Venous intravasation is a complication and potential pitfall during HSG and analogous procedures including hysteroscopy. The aim of our study was to assess the venous intravasation and to obtain critical information for more secure and more accurate procedures. ...
