Tube Test (HSG) by Dr. Komagal at MOROE Clinic – Fertility Diagnosis in Mogappair, Chennai
If you’re struggling to conceive and have been advised to undergo a fertility evaluation, the Tube Test (HSG), also known as Hysterosalpingography, is a key diagnostic procedure that can provide valuable insights into the health of your reproductive system. At MOROE Clinic, located in Mogappair, Chennai, we offer comprehensive and expert HSG services under the care of Dr. Komagal, a leading obstetrician and gynecologist with vast experience in fertility treatments.
What is a Tube Test (HSG)?
A Tube Test (HSG) is a specialized X-ray procedure used to examine the fallopian tubes and the uterine cavity. It is commonly recommended for women who are having difficulty conceiving. The test involves injecting a contrast dye into the uterus and fallopian tubes while taking X-ray images to check for blockages, abnormalities, or any other issues that may be affecting your fertility.
Why is HSG Important for Fertility?
The HSG test is essential in identifying the following potential issues:
- Blocked Fallopian Tubes: One of the most common causes of infertility, where blockages prevent sperm from reaching the egg.
- Uterine Abnormalities: Conditions like fibroids, polyps, or adhesions that can impact implantation or the growth of a pregnancy.
- Infections or Scar Tissue: Previous infections or surgeries may lead to scar tissue in the reproductive system, interfering with conception.
HSG can provide clear answers and allow Dr. Komagal to recommend the most appropriate treatment options to improve your chances of conception.
How is the Tube Test (HSG) Performed?
The HSG procedure is typically done in the following steps:
- Preparation: The procedure is usually performed after your menstrual period but before ovulation, as this ensures that you are not pregnant. You will be asked to lie on an examination table with your feet placed in stirrups.
- Dye Injection: A thin catheter is inserted through the cervix into the uterus, and a contrast dye is injected. This dye helps to highlight the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes during the X-ray images.
- X-ray Imaging: X-rays are taken to track the movement of the dye through your reproductive organs. If the dye flows freely through the fallopian tubes, it indicates that they are open. Any blockages or abnormalities will be identified.
- After the Test: The test is typically quick, lasting about 20 to 30 minutes. You may experience mild cramping or discomfort during and after the procedure, but most women resume normal activities soon after.

What to Expect After the Test?
Post-procedure, you may experience mild spotting or cramping. These symptoms are usually temporary and should subside within a few hours. In some cases, women may find that the test itself helps “unblock” the fallopian tubes, resulting in improved fertility chances. However, any findings or abnormalities will be discussed with you in detail by Dr. Komagal, who will recommend the next steps in your fertility treatment plan.
