If appropriate, we can perform a HyCoSy (Hysterosalpingo-Contrast-Sonography), but this is not part of the fertility MOT and will cost £580. HyCoSy is a non-invasive transvaginal ultrasound technique which assesses the patency of your fallopian tubes, which must be clear of blockages to conceive. HyCoSy involves injecting a contrast fluid into the uterine cavity through the cervix, which will indicate if there are any blockages or other changes in the womb, such as polyps or fibroids.
Several reasons, including infections, previous surgery, and scar tissue, can cause blocked fallopian tubes.
Blocked tubes do not typically show any symptoms, and as such, most women are unaware of a problem until they have difficulty conceiving.
