A hysteroscopy is a procedure performed under a
general anaesthetic where the uterine cavity is
assessed by introducing a small (5mm) telescope
(hysteroscope) gently through the opening of the
cervix into the uterine cavity. Polyps,
fibroids, adhesions can be removed at the same
time using a resectoscope.

Tubal Assessment
Approximately 15 of couples suffer from tubal
subfertility and this is likely to be
significantly higher in those with secondary
subfertility i.e. struggling to conceive
following previous pregnancies. At the Ankur
Fertility Clinic, we believe that tubal
assessment of the fallopian tubes should
therefore form part of first-line fertility
investigation.

Laparoscopy Dye
The gold standard investigation for assessing the
tubal patency is a laparoscopy with a dye test. A
small telescope is inserted through a tiny 1cm
incision inside the umbilicus and dye is injected
through the cervix and the tubes are examined to
see if they fill with dye and are open to allow
dye to pass through into the pelvis. This is a
day case surgical procedure which is performed at
the Lister Hospital under general anaesthetic. As
this is a more invasive test requiring anesthetic
we tend to only recommend it when other
gynaecological symptoms are present that require
assessment.

Hysterosalpingo Contrast Sonography (HyCoSy)
This is a simpler ultrasound based fertility test
performed in the IVF unit as as an outpatient
procedure. An internal ultrasound scan is
performed to watch as a small amount of fluid is
passed through the catheter into the uterus and
then up to show up the fallopian tubes. This
fluid is easily processed and absorbed by the
body after the procedure. The test takes 15 to 20
minutes.
