A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an X-ray test that checks the uterus and fallopian tubes, often as part of fertility investigations. MelioHealth books HSG tests at licensed partner centres in Sharjah and Dubai, where the centre's clinical team performs the test and explains what to expect.
HSG Test in Sharjah and Dubai
What Is an HSG Test?
A Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is a specialized X-ray used to examine the uterus and fallopian tubes. Doctors often request it as part of a fertility assessment for women having difficulty conceiving or with recurrent miscarriages.
Why It's Done
- Check for blocked or damaged fallopian tubes.
- Identify structural abnormalities in the uterus.
- Investigate causes of recurrent pregnancy loss.
Procedure & Safety
The test takes about 15 minutes and uses a contrast dye and a low dose of radiation. Mild cramping is commonly reported, and most patients resume normal activities the same day. The centre's team will explain what to expect.
Fertility and Pricing
Some studies have reported improved fertility rates in the months after an HSG; ask your gynaecologist whether this applies to you. Message us for the partner centre's current HSG price.
Timing and preparation
An HSG is usually booked in the first half of the menstrual cycle, after your period has ended and before ovulation; the centre confirms the right days and may ask for a pregnancy test. Tell the centre if you might be pregnant, or if you have signs of a pelvic infection or an untreated sexually transmitted infection, because the test should not be done then. Your doctor may advise a painkiller before the test, and some doctors prescribe an antibiotic before or after it; follow their instructions. Tell the centre about any allergies, especially to iodine-based contrast dye.
Referral
An HSG needs a referral from a licensed doctor, usually your gynaecologist or fertility doctor.
What MelioHealth does, and what the centre does
MelioHealth is a booking and referral service, not a clinic, and does not give medical advice. We find a licensed partner centre in Sharjah or Dubai for the HSG your doctor has requested, confirm the price and book the appointment. The partner centre performs the test, and its radiologist issues the report to you and your referring doctor.
