HSG Test Cost

An HSG (hysterosalpingogram) is a radiology test done to check the fertility potential in the female. It is done in the radiology department of a hospital or clinic to find out any blockage in the Fallopian tubes and to check whether the uterus is grown out of shape. It is not advised for pregnant women, women undergoing a menstrual period, or has a pelvic infection. A sedative is given to the woman undergoing the test to help her relax and prevent the muscles of the uterus from cramping during the test. She is asked to wear a gown and lie down on her back and raise her leg in a 'frog leg' position. A medical instrument is placed in the vagina to check the opening of the womb. A catheter is then inserted through the opening of the uterus to inject contrast into the uterine cavity for taking x-ray pictures.
