In-Office Sono Hysterograms

A Sonohysterogram, also known as a Hysterosonogram (HSN), is one of several fertility tests - such as a Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) - aimed at assessing the state of the female reproductive system and identifying any abnormalities. More specifically, a sonohysterogram is an ultrasound that screens for any uterine abnormalities involving the shape of the uterus that may be hindering fertility. Occasionally, a sonohysterogram will also be used to determine whether or not the fallopian tubes are open.

A sonohysterogram is considered a safer and more accurate detector of uterine abnormalities than a regular ultrasound, since it uses a sterile fluid to fill up the uterus, causing the upper and lower walls to separate, thus allowing any abnormalities to become more apparent. A sonohysterogram also presents a less intrusive fertility testing method than a traditional hysteroscopy, which involves an out-patient surgical procedure in which a telescope is used to view inside the uterus.
