Hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (HyCoSy) and X-ray hysterosalpingography (HSG) are the two primary techniques for evaluating tubal patency. HSG is the conventional method, while HyCoSy and the newer HyFoSy (which uses foam gel as the contrast medium) were introduced as safer alternatives. These ultrasound-based methods eliminate the risks of iodine allergies and X-ray radiation, providing a safer option. They also enable real-time identification of abnormalities in the fallopian tubes.

The first day of your menstruation counts as day 1, and the optimal time to do it is between days 5 and 11 of your menstrual cycle.
The treatment typically takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete.To determine the pelvic anatomy, a transvaginal scan is performed. After that, the cervix is cleansed with a speculum inserted into the vagina. The uterine chamber is subsequently filled with a tiny, sterile plastic catheter.
As the contrast (foam gel) is given through the catheter, a transvaginal scan is once more carried out. The gel makes the tube and the spilling around the ovaries visible. The fallopian tubes are regarded as patent when the spillage is clearly seen from both sides.Typically, patients endure the surgery well and don't need any medicines.
HyFoSy provides several advantages, mainly its safety and minimal invasiveness. Unlike traditional HSG, it uses foam gel as a contrast agent, avoiding the risks of iodine allergies and X-ray radiation exposure. It is also generally more comfortable for patients and allows for real-time detection of fallopian tube abnormalities, making it a highly effective and patient-friendly option for evaluating tubal patency.
