When you’re trying to conceive, understanding the health of your uterus and fallopian tubes can be an important part of early fertility assessment. Hysterosalpingo-Contrast Sonography (HyCoSy) is an advanced ultrasound procedure that can provide valuable information about the reproductive system in a minimally invasive way.
At Coastal Women’s Health in Gosford, HyCoSy is offered as part of a broader approach to fertility and gynaecological care, with each woman’s situation assessed individually.
What Is HyCoSy?
HyCoSy is a specialised ultrasound procedure used to assess:
- The shape and structure of the uterus
- Whether the fallopian tubes are open or blocked
During the procedure, a contrast solution is gently introduced into the uterus, allowing ultrasound imaging to track how the fluid moves through the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. This helps provide insight into potential factors that may affect fertility.
Who May Benefit from HyCoSy?
HyCoSy may be considered for women who:
- Are experiencing difficulty conceiving
- Wish to check the health of their fallopian tubes and uterus
- Are investigating possible causes of infertility
- Are preparing for further fertility discussions or treatment planning
Your GP or treating clinician can help determine whether this investigation is appropriate for you.
What to Expect During the Procedure
HyCoSy is performed using ultrasound and typically involves:
- A consultation with Dr Farag to explain the procedure and discuss suitability
- An ultrasound examination while contrast fluid is introduced
- Real-time imaging of the uterus and fallopian tubes
The procedure is usually completed in a short appointment. Some women may experience mild discomfort or cramping, which can vary from person to person.
Supporting Informed Fertility Care
HyCoSy does not diagnose all causes of infertility, but it can provide helpful information that may guide next steps. Results are reviewed carefully, and any findings are discussed with you so that you can make informed decisions about your care.
At Coastal Women’s Health, investigations such as HyCoSy are offered in line with current clinical guidance and tailored to each individual’s circumstances.
