HyCoSy Scan in HSR Layout, Bengaluru
HyCoSy (Hysterosalpingo Contrast Sonography) is an ultrasound-based test that checks whether the fallopian tubes are open, without the X-ray exposure of a conventional HSG.
It is one of the standard investigations in a fertility work-up, alongside a review of the uterine cavity for fibroids, polyps or scarring. Nitara Scans performs this as an outpatient procedure with clear explanation before and after, led personally by Dr. Nayana N Sunku.

About this scan
- HyCoSy is an ultrasound-guided test of the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes, using a contrast fluid instilled through a fine catheter.
- It checks whether the tubes are patent (open) — a key requirement for natural conception — and looks at the uterine cavity for fibroids, polyps, adhesions or shape abnormalities.
- It is a screening test, not a diagnostic one: if an abnormality is suspected, your doctor may advise a confirmatory test such as hysteroscopy or laparoscopy.
- It avoids the X-ray exposure used in a conventional hysterosalpingogram (HSG), and does not require general anaesthesia.
Who may need it
- Couples being evaluated for infertility, especially where the cause is not yet clear.
- Women planning IUI (intrauterine insemination), where tubal status needs confirming beforehand.
- Women with a history of pelvic infection, endometriosis, previous pelvic surgery or suspected uterine abnormality.
- As part of a structured fertility work-up alongside follicular tracking and hormonal evaluation.
Preparation
- The test is usually timed for the first half of the menstrual cycle, after bleeding has stopped and before ovulation, to avoid disturbing an early pregnancy.
- Use contraception (such as condoms) from the start of that cycle until the scan is done.
- Inform the team of any known allergies before the procedure.
- Carry prior fertility workup records and any previous HSG or ultrasound reports if available.
What to expect
- A transvaginal ultrasound is done first to assess the uterus and ovaries.
- A speculum is placed and a fine catheter is passed through the cervix into the uterine cavity.
- Contrast fluid is gently instilled while the sonographer tracks its passage through the tubes on ultrasound — if the tubes are open, the fluid is seen flowing through them.
- Mild period-like cramping is common during the procedure and usually settles quickly afterward; the whole visit takes around 20–30 minutes.
- Light spotting or watery discharge for a day or two afterward is expected and not a cause for concern.

Frequently asked questions
What does HyCoSy check for?
It checks whether the fallopian tubes are open (patent) or blocked, and looks at the shape of the uterine cavity for fibroids, polyps or scarring — key factors in natural conception.
Does HyCoSy involve any radiation?
No. Unlike an X-ray hysterosalpingogram (HSG), HyCoSy uses ultrasound and a contrast fluid, so there is no radiation exposure.
Is HyCoSy painful?
Most women feel mild cramping similar to period pain while the contrast passes through, and it settles quickly. The procedure does not need anaesthesia.
When in the cycle should HyCoSy be done?
It is usually scheduled in the first half of the menstrual cycle, after bleeding has stopped and before ovulation, to avoid disturbing an early pregnancy.
