This fluid expands the uterine cavity, allowing our specialists to obtain clear, real-time images of the uterine lining and fallopian tubes using a&nbsp;<strong>transvaginal ultrasound<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a highly useful procedure for identifying&nbsp;<strong>uterine abnormalities<\/strong>&nbsp;and evaluating&nbsp;<strong>tubal patency (whether your fallopian tubes are open)<\/strong>, especially in women&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/srwomenchildrenspecialists.com\/2025\/07\/23\/fertility-services-in-johor-bahru-transforming-hopes-into-families-at-sr-women-children-specialist-clinic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trying to conceive<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When is SIS Recommended?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be advised to undergo SIS if you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suspected uterine polyps or fibroids<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeated miscarriages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty conceiving<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Abnormal results from a routine pelvic ultrasound<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The test is typically scheduled between&nbsp;<strong>Day 6 and Day 12<\/strong>&nbsp;of your menstrual cycle (after your period but before ovulation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advantages of SIS Over Conventional Ultrasound<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While a&nbsp;<strong>transvaginal ultrasound<\/strong>&nbsp;can show the shape and size of the uterus and ovaries, it cannot always detect small or internal abnormalities like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Uterine polyps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submucosal fibroids<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adhesions (Asherman\u2019s syndrome)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Septate or bicornuate uterus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By expanding the uterine cavity with saline, SIS allows for&nbsp;<strong>much greater clarity<\/strong>&nbsp;and diagnostic accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SIS vs HSG (Tubal Patency Testing)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re undergoing fertility evaluation, checking whether your fallopian tubes are open (tubal patency) is critical. Traditionally, this is done using&nbsp;<strong>Hysterosalpingography (HSG)<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 an X-ray test with iodine dye. However,&nbsp;<strong>SIS with air contrast or foam (Sonohysterography with contrast, or HyCoSy)<\/strong>&nbsp;offers many benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>No Radiation Exposure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SIS uses ultrasound, unlike HSG which uses X-rays. This makes SIS safer, especially for women planning pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Less Discomfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most women find SIS significantly&nbsp;<strong>less painful<\/strong>&nbsp;than HSG. The saline and air mixture used is gentler than the iodine-based dye in HSG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Better Uterine Visualization<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SIS not only checks the tubes but also provides a clearer view of the uterine cavity, allowing us to diagnose additional problems like fibroids or adhesions in the same session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <strong>Lower Risk of Allergic Reactions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HSG involves iodine-based contrast, which may cause allergic reactions. SIS uses saline or air\u2013saline mix, which is very safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. <strong>More Convenient<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SIS can be performed right in the clinic, without the need for a radiology department. The entire process takes about&nbsp;<strong>15\u201320 minutes<\/strong>&nbsp;and you can go home immediately after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Happens During the SIS Procedure?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At&nbsp;<strong>SR Women &amp; Children Specialists Centre<\/strong>, we ensure your comfort every step of the way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Preparation<\/strong>: You\u2019ll lie on an exam table and empty your bladder beforehand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Catheter Insertion<\/strong>: A speculum is inserted, followed by a thin catheter placed into the uterus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Saline Infusion<\/strong>: Sterile saline (and sometimes air) is gently introduced to expand the uterus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ultrasound Imaging<\/strong>: A transvaginal ultrasound is done to assess the uterus and fallopian tubes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You may feel&nbsp;<strong>mild cramping<\/strong>, but most patients report minimal discomfort.
