Ultrasound – 3D Ultrasound / Colour Doppler

Transvaginal and transabdominal ultrasound scans are the first-stop ultrasound scans for women who are trying to become pregnant. These minimally invasive scans are part of routine fertility assessment and help in diagnosing abnormalities like cysts or fibroids as well as monitoring egg production and development of the uterine lining. Both these scans are safe even during pregnancy as they do not use any radiation.

These are advanced transvaginal ultrasound scans which use 3D imaging for a more accurate assessment of the uterine cavity. 3D imaging technology offers enhanced visualisation to assess uterine anomalies, intrauterine problems, tubal patency, ovarian follicular development, and endometrial receptivity for better diagnostic decisions while planning the treatment Colour Doppler and power doppler In these investigations, the blood flow in and around the uterine cavity is studied by a method called doppler to detect obstructions and problems like damaged fallopian tubes which may be affecting the ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy.

Hydro-sonogram or saline sonography offers a more detailed analysis of the uterine lining. It uses saline solution and is done in the first half of the menstrual cycle and right after periods. It is used to diagnose issues like polyps, fibroids, adhesions, and tubal patency.

Healthy and open fallopian tubes are crucial for becoming pregnant. This test is a type of tubal patency test that uses an ultrasound scan and a special contrast medium to identify any blockages or issues in the fallopian tubes.
