Sonohysterography

The last big test that your doctor can order to check out the uterus is called a sonohysterography. This test is similar to the HSG test but without the iodine and without the x-ray machine.

With this exam they are focusing mostly on the uterus, its shape, and how the inside of the uterus looks. They are looking for any abnormalities with the uterus.

After the doctor has filled the uterus with the saline solution they then preform a vaginal ultrasound. This allows the doctor to see if there are any abnormalities. It is a fairly simple procedure but they do suggest that you take some ibuprofen for the cramping that can come from this test.

Here are some pictures of results of this ultrasound.

This is what a normal uterus looks like:

This picture actually hits close to home because you are looking at my Sonogram results. As you can see it shows that I had a polyp at the end of my uterus. So this would be considered an abnormal uterus.
