Saline Infusion Sonohysterography (SIS) is a specialized ultrasound procedure used to evaluate the uterus and endometrial cavity in women. It involves injecting a sterile saline solution into the uterus while performing an ultrasound, providing a clearer and more detailed view of the uterine lining and structure.
A Painless HSG (Hysterosalpingography) test refers to a modified version of the traditional procedure designed to minimize discomfort during the test.
Unlike the conventional HSG, which typically uses a trochar cannula (a thicker, more rigid instrument) to insert the contrast dye, we use a specialized thin catheter for the procedure. This catheter is much softer and more flexible, ensuring that the cervix, which can be a sensitive area, experiences minimal discomfort.
The use of this advanced technique makes the procedure virtually pain-free for most women.
Our goal is to provide a comfortable, stress-free experience, allowing you to undergo the necessary diagnostic test without the worry of significant pain or discomfort.
SIS may be recommended if:
Women experiencing abnormal or heavy menstrual bleeding can benefit from SIS to evaluate the uterine lining.
If a woman has had multiple miscarriages, SIS can help detect uterine abnormalities that may be contributing to pregnancy loss.
For women struggling to conceive, SIS can help identify structural issues in the uterus that may impact fertility.
If a woman experiences unexpected bleeding after menopause, SIS can be used to check for any underlying conditions.
SIS is often used for monitoring fibroids, polyps, or other uterine abnormalities over time.
The SIS test is a quick procedure that typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:
✅ Positioning: You will lie on an examination table, and a speculum will be inserted into the vagina, similar to a routine pelvic exam.
✅ Saline Infusion: A thin catheter is inserted through the cervix into the uterus. A small amount of sterile saline solution is then gently injected into the uterine cavity.
✅ Ultrasound Imaging: As the saline fills the uterus, a transvaginal ultrasound is performed to get a clearer view of the uterine lining and detect any abnormalities.
✅ Duration: The entire procedure takes only 15-30 minutes and is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort.
Preparing for the SIS test is simple:
📅 Scheduling: The test should ideally be scheduled between the 7th and 12th day of your menstrual cycle when you are not menstruating.
💊 Pain Relief: Mild cramping may occur during or after the procedure. Taking an over-the-counter pain reliever one hour before the test can help.
🥗 No Special Diet: You can eat and drink normally before the test.
🩺 Inform Us of Allergies: If you have a history of allergies, especially to latex or antiseptic solutions, inform the doctor before the test.
SIS can help diagnose various conditions, including:
You can expect your SIS test results within 1-3 hours. Our team ensures a quick and efficient report turnaround.
