Is hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HyFoSy) more tolerable in terms of pain and anxiety than hysterosalpingography (HSG)? A prospective real-world setting multicentre study

Abstract: Background In 60% of sterile couples a female factor is present, with these being tubal factors in 30–50% of cases. A tubal patency test is also required in women without a male partner undergoing fertility treatment. Thus, an accurate, safe and tolerable technique should be available. The aim of this study is to determine and to compare hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HyFoSy) and hysterosalpingography (HSG) tolerability in terms of pain and anxiety. Methods … Show more

“…HSG has been considered as first-choice tubal patency test for decades ( NICE, 2013 ; ASRM, 2020 ).

To avoid these disadvantages of HSG, sonographic tubal patency methods have been introduced, such as HyFoSy.…”
