Abstract

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is the radiographic evaluation of the uterus and fallopian tubes and is used predominantly in the evaluation of infertility. It plays an important role in the evaluation of abnormalities related to the uterus and fallopian tubes. Tubal abnormalities seen at HSG can be either congenital or due to spasm, occlusion, or infection. Uterine anomalies can also be due to congenital abnormalities of uterine shape, luminal filling defects, abnormalities of uterine contour. A prospective cross sectional study for a period of 9 months in which 1124 patients who were referred for Hysterosalpingography with infertility were included for the evaluation of pattern of pathologies encountered on hysterosalpingography in primary infertility. KEY WORDS: Hysterosalpingography, Primary infertility, tubal patency
