HYCOSY – AQUA SCAN

Hysterosalpingo-Contrast Sonography (HYCOSY) is a specialized ultrasound technique used to assess the patency and integrity of the fallopian tubes and the internal structure of the uterus. It is commonly performed as part of female fertility evaluation or in the assessment of reproductive health issues affecting both men and women.

Key Steps of the HYCOSY Procedure:

1. Introduction of Contrast Fluid:
   • A contrast fluid, which is visible on ultrasound, is introduced into the uterus.
   • This allows the visualization of the uterine cavity and the fallopian tubes, helping to detect any abnormalities.
2. Ultrasound Examination:
   • The doctor performs an ultrasound scan to track the movement of the contrast fluid within the uterus and fallopian tubes.
   • This helps evaluate the cervical canal, uterine cavity, and tubal patency.
3. Fertility Assessment:
   • The HYCOSY test determines whether the fallopian tubes are open or if any blockages are preventing the sperm from meeting the egg or hindering embryo transport to the uterus.
4. Uterine Condition Evaluation (Aqua Scan – Hydrosonography):
   • This procedure provides detailed insights into the internal structure of the uterus, detecting potential issues that may impact pregnancy success (e.g., polyps, fibroids, uterine septum).

Why is HYCOSY Important?

• It is a non-invasive and relatively simple procedure.
• It provides valuable diagnostic information about female fertility.
• It is recommended for women facing conception difficulties or for couples experiencing reproductive challenges.

At Thely Clinic, we use advanced HYCOSY technology to support accurate fertility assessments and provide personalized treatment options for women looking to conceive.
