Uterine Evaluation:
Why is Uterine Evaluation Important?
The uterus plays a central role in conception and pregnancy. Abnormalities or issues with the uterine structure can significantly affect fertility and the ability to carry a pregnancy to term.
Uterine evaluation helps identify problems such as fibroids, polyps, congenital abnormalities, scarring, or infections that could impact fertility.
Diagnostic Procedures:
Transvaginal Ultrasound:
Procedure: A transvaginal ultrasound involves inserting an ultrasound probe into the vagina to obtain detailed images of the uterus and ovaries.
Purpose: It helps visualize the uterine lining, detect fibroids, polyps, and assess ovarian follicles.
Hysterosalpingography (HSG):
Procedure: HSG is an X-ray procedure where a contrast dye is injected into the uterus and fallopian tubes.
Purpose: It evaluates the shape of the uterine cavity and checks for blockages in the fallopian tubes.
Hysteroscopy:
Procedure: A hysteroscope, a thin, lighted tube, is inserted through the cervix into the uterus.
Purpose: Direct visualization of the uterine cavity to identify and possibly treat abnormalities such as fibroids, polyps, and adhesions.
Sonohysterography:
Procedure: A saline solution is infused into the uterine cavity during a transvaginal ultrasound.
Purpose: It provides a clearer view of the uterine lining and helps detect abnormalities.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):
Procedure: MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the uterus.
Purpose: It is used for a more detailed evaluation of complex uterine abnormalities.

Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART):
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): For women with uterine abnormalities that can be managed, IVF may be recommended to bypass certain infertility issues.
Surrogacy: In cases where the uterine environment is unsuitable for pregnancy, surrogacy might be an option.
