What is Hysterosalpingo-Contrast-Sonography?

Hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography (usually shortened to HyCoSy) is a simple ultrasound procedure used to examine the fallopian tubes, as well as detect any problems of the uterus and endometrium. A HyCoSy is useful for fertility assessment and identifying blocked fallopian tubes.

Some women will require the use of a non-iodinated contrast agent called ExEm Foam. The HyCoSy procedure is a safe and reliable alternative to the conventional hysterosalpingogram (HSG) which uses X-rays. No radiation or iodinated contrast material is used for a HyCoSy test.

Why would I need a HyCoSy test?

Occluded (blocked) fallopian tubes are a common cause of infertility. Tubal occlusion can occur with a number of conditions including previous pelvic infection, severe endometriosis, previous appendicitis and pelvic adhesions. Many women will be unaware that these conditions are present and that tubal blockage has occurred.

A normal fallopian tube is not seen with regular ultrasound.

Even if the fallopian tube is blocked, it may still be difficult to see on regular ultrasound unless it is also filled with fluid (forming what is known as a hydrosalpinx). This is why a special test using a contrast agent such as ExEm Foam is useful, as it helps the doctor to visualise the fallopian tubes and assess whether they are patent (working).

How long does a HyCoSy test take?

A full HyCoSy appointment takes around 30 minutes, including the ultrasound itself.

Is a HyCoSy test painful?

The procedure involves a thin catheter inserted into the cervix which some women find slightly uncomfortable. You may wish to take some form of gentle pain relief before the procedure.

How long do HyCoSy test results take?

Your sonographer will give you your test results immediately after the test.
