Hysterosalpingo-Foam-Sonography (HyFoSy)

Checking the Function of the Fallopian Tubes

One cause of an unfulfilled desire to have children can be impaired fallopian tube function. At our clinic, you can have the patency of the fallopian tubes checked by means of an ultrasound examination known as hysterosalpingo-foam-sonography (HyFoSy). This involves the use of a foamy contrast agent that is inserted through a catheter. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and is generally performed without anaesthetic. After the examination, the patient remains in the practice for about 15 minutes for monitoring.
