How it works:
The catheter is inserted through the cervix. Contrast dye is pushed through it while X-rays are taken to map the uterus and tubes.
In short:
An HSG catheter is used for diagnosing female infertility by checking the shape of the uterus and whether the fallopian tubes are open.
Description
HSG = Hysterosalpingography Catheter.
It’s a sterile, single-use catheter used during a female fertility X-ray test.
Main Medical Uses
1. Fertility Assessment
Used to inject contrast dye into the uterus and fallopian tubes to check if they are open and normal.
2. Diagnose Uterine Abnormalities
Helps detect fibroids, polyps, septum, adhesions, or congenital defects in the uterus.
3. Check Tubal Blockage
Confirms if one or both fallopian tubes are blocked – a common cause of infertility.
4. Post-Surgery Follow-up
Used after tubal surgery or sterilization reversal to confirm tube patency.
5. Guided X-Ray / Fluoroscopy
The catheter stays in place during imaging so the dye can be seen as it flows through the reproductive tract.
