Frequently Asked Questions
Why Is Tubal Patency Important?
For natural conception to occur, the fallopian tubes must allow the egg and sperm to meet and enable the fertilized embryo to reach the uterus.
Blocked or damaged tubes can significantly affect fertility and may influence the choice of fertility treatment.
Is HyFoSy painful?
Most women experience little to no discomfort. Some may notice mild cramping similar to menstrual pain during the procedure.
Does HyFoSy involve radiation?
No. HyFoSy is performed entirely under ultrasound guidance and does not use radiation.
How long does the examination take?
The procedure usually takes approximately 10–15 minutes.
When during the menstrual cycle should HyFoSy be performed?
It is typically scheduled shortly after menstruation and before ovulation, according to your physician’s instructions.
Can I return to my normal activities afterward?
Yes. Most women can resume their normal daily activities immediately after the examination.
What happens if a tubal blockage is detected?
The findings will be discussed with you, and the most appropriate fertility management plan will be determined based on your individual circumstances.
