Gynaecology

What is it?

HyFoSy and HyCoSy are minimally invasive ultrasound procedures used to evaluate the patency of the fallopian tubes and the structure of the uterine cavity. HyFoSy uses a foam solution, while HyCoSy uses a contrast medium to create clear images, helping diagnose blockages or abnormalities that could affect fertility.

Additional Information

What is included?

A HyFoSy (Hysterosalpingo-Foam Sonography) or HyCoSy (Hysterosalpingo-Contrast Sonography) consultation with Dr Giada Frontino includes a specialised ultrasound procedure to evaluate the patency of the fallopian tubes and assess the uterine cavity. This non-invasive test helps identify any blockages or abnormalities that may affect fertility.

What to expect

During the consultation, expect a transvaginal ultrasound with a saline or foam contrast to visualise the fallopian tubes and uterine cavity. Dr Frontino will guide you through the process, which typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes and involves minimal discomfort.

What happens next?

After the procedure, Dr Frontino will review the results with you and discuss their implications for your fertility. She will provide recommendations for any necessary follow-up tests, treatments, or fertility options based on the findings.
