A sonohysterogram is a specialized ultrasound procedure used by a gynecologist to provide detailed images of the uterus. During the procedure, a small catheter is inserted through the cervix, and a sterile saline solution is introduced to expand the uterine cavity. This technique enhances the visibility of the uterine lining and structure, allowing the detection of abnormalities such as fibroids, polyps, and adhesions that might cause symptoms like abnormal bleeding and infertility. The sonohysterogram is minimally invasive, quick, and performed in-office, offering accurate diagnoses and guiding effective treatment plans.
The benefits of sonohysterograms include enhanced imaging capabilities, accurate diagnosis, and minimally invasive nature. This procedure helps identify the exact causes of symptoms, leading to better management of conditions and improved quality of life for patients. Additionally, sonohysterograms play a crucial role in preventive healthcare by detecting abnormalities early, allowing for timely interventions that prevent complications. The detailed images provided by the sonohysterogram enable gynecologists to create targeted treatment plans, ensuring better outcomes for women’s reproductive health.
