Saline Sonography
Saline sonography, also known as Saline Infusion Sonohysterography (SIS), is a specialized ultrasound technique that provides a clearer view of the uterine cavity. By introducing sterile saline into the uterus during the scan, doctors can better visualize abnormalities such as polyps, fibroids, adhesions, and structural anomalies. At the clinic of Dr. Madhuri M S, saline sonography is performed with precision to aid in infertility evaluation, recurrent pregnancy loss assessment, and diagnosis of uterine conditions.
When is Saline Sonography Recommended?
This diagnostic scan is commonly advised in the following situations:
Evaluation of infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss.
Assessment of abnormal uterine bleeding.
Detection of uterine polyps, fibroids, or adhesions.
Investigation of congenital uterine anomalies (septum, bicornuate uterus).
Pre-treatment evaluation before assisted reproductive techniques (IUI/IVF).
Saline sonography provides detailed information about the uterine cavity, which is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
How is the Procedure Done?
The procedure is minimally invasive and usually takes 15–20 minutes.
A thin catheter is gently inserted into the uterus through the cervix.
Sterile saline is slowly infused to expand the uterine cavity.
An ultrasound probe (usually transvaginal) is used to capture detailed images.
No anesthesia is required, and discomfort is minimal.
Patients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Saline sonography is safe, well-tolerated, and provides better diagnostic accuracy compared to a standard ultrasound.
