This exam evaluates a female patient's fallopian tubes, and any uterine abnormalities. A narrow, flexible catheter is inserted through the cervix into the uterus. An x-ray contrast is injected through the catheter while a series of radiographs are taken. This exam takes about 30 minutes.

A Hysterosalpingiogram must be done between the 7th and 12th day of the menstrual cycle, counting from the first day of your last period. If you are unsure of this date, contact our office on the first day your period starts, and we will schedule your appointment.
