Hysterosalpingogram, commonly abbreviated as HSG, is a specialized X-ray procedure used for examining a woman's uterus and fallopian tubes. It is primarily employed to investigate the causes of infertility and is also sometimes used to screen for uterine abnormalities. The test involves the injection of a contrast material into the uterine cavity to make the uterus and fallopian tubes visible on X-ray images.

HSG is a diagnostic tool that is especially valuable for assessing tubal patency, which means it can help to determine if the fallopian tubes are open or blocked. Furthermore, it can also provide information on the shape and structure of the uterus, which can be crucial for understanding various reproductive issues.

Women who experience difficulties becoming pregnant or who have had recurrent miscarriages might be recommended to undergo an HSG. It’s a relatively short procedure, usually taking no more than 30 minutes, and is typically performed in a radiology department at a hospital or clinic.
