![]() If you would like to learn more about saline infusion sonography, contact a fertility specialist to schedule an informative consultation. Saline infusion sonography performed at the Center for Reproductive Health & Gynecology in the Los Angeles area can help infertility doctors evaluate any abnormalities in the uterus that may create a hostile environment for implantation, preventing a successful and healthy pregnancy. The doctor will capture several images of the uterine area and ovaries to help him or her evaluate the health of these organs.Īfter SIS, patients may experience mild cramping and light spotting, and should refrain from intercourse for at least 48 hours. The doctor will force a sterile saline solution through the catheter and into the uterine cavity, enlarging the cavity to make any abnormalities or irregularities more visible on the ultrasound screen. Next a small catheter is inserted through the cervical canal and an ultrasound probe is placed in the vagina. This procedure may cause only minor discomfort, if any, and is usually completed within 30 minutes.To begin SIS, the doctor will insert a speculum into the vagina and cleanse the cervix with an antiseptic solution. SIS is usually performed at our Mexico or Beverly Hills office just after menstrual flow has stopped but before ovulation has begun. It can also be a valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating women who have had recurrent miscarriages. Saline Sonogram (SIS) Also known as a saline infusion sonogram or a sonohysterogram, a SIS is a transvaginal ultrasound test that is performed while a sterile saline solution is gently infused into the uterus. There are other names for sonohysterography, including hysterosonography, saline-infused sonography (SIS), and SIS ultrasound. Saline infusion sonography (SIS) performed at our Los Angeles-area fertility clinics can effectively diagnose and evaluate abnormalities within the uterine cavity, including scarring of the uterine lining, uterine fibroids, and endometrial polyps. Saline Infused Sonography (SIS): Indications, Preparation and Outcome Saline ultrasound used for analyzing the uterus interior is called a sonohysterogram (SHG). ![]()
