Gynaecology

What is it?

Hysterosonography, also known as saline infusion sonography (SIS), is a minimally invasive ultrasound procedure that involves the injection of a saline solution into the uterine cavity. This enhances the visualisation of the uterus and helps detect abnormalities such as polyps, fibroids, and adhesions.

Additional Information

What is included?

A Hysterosonography consultation with Dr. Giada Frontino involves a thorough assessment of your uterine health using Saline Infusion Sonography (SIS). The procedure begins with a review of your medical history, symptoms, and any fertility concerns. This is followed by a transvaginal ultrasound to evaluate the uterus, ovaries, and surrounding structures. Sterile saline is then introduced into the uterine cavity to enhance imaging and identify any abnormalities such as polyps, fibroids, or adhesions. Finally, the results are immediately reviewed, and tailored recommendations are provided.

What to expect

During the consultation, expect a transvaginal ultrasound where saline is gently introduced into the uterus to provide a clearer image of the uterine cavity. The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes and may cause mild discomfort.

What happens next?

After the hysterosonography, Dr Frontino will review the images and discuss the findings with you. She will provide recommendations for any necessary follow-up treatments or tests based on the results and your individual health needs.
