A sonohysterogram is a minimally invasive ultrasound examination that uses a small amount of sterile saline solution to gently expand the uterus.
Once the saline is introduced through the cervix, an ultrasound scan is performed.
The fluid creates a clearer outline of the uterine cavity, allowing the clinician to assess its shape and look for abnormalities that may not be easy to see during a routine ultrasound.
A sonohysterogram does not use radiation. It is generally a short outpatient procedure, meaning you can usually return home after your appointment.
As the top fertility clinic in London, we combine specialist fertility care with a personalised approach to your sonohysterogram. Our team makes the process simple, clear and comfortable.

A sonohysterogram (saline infusion sonogram) gives your fertility specialist a clearer view of the inside of your uterus.
It may be recommended when you need a closer look at the uterine cavity during fertility investigations or before treatment.
A sonohysterogram can help assess:
By identifying these issues early, your specialist can better understand your fertility and recommend the most appropriate next steps.
One of the main advantages of a sonohysterogram is its ability to provide a detailed view of the inside of the uterus. It may help identify or investigate several conditions.
Endometrial polyps are growths that develop from the lining of the uterus.
Some are small and cause no symptoms, while others may be associated with irregular bleeding or fertility difficulties.
A sonohysterogram can help identify polyps within the uterine cavity and show their location and size.
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths of the muscle of the uterus. Submucosal fibroids grow towards or into the uterine cavity.
Because their position can be important, a saline infusion sonogram may help your fertility specialist assess whether a fibroid is affecting the shape of the cavity.
Adhesions, sometimes called uterine scar tissue, can develop after procedures or certain medical conditions. They may alter the normal shape of the uterine cavity.
A sonohysterogram can help assess the cavity for changes that may require further investigation.
Some women have structural differences within the uterus that may affect fertility or pregnancy.
A saline infusion sonogram can help your clinician assess the shape and internal contour of the cavity and determine whether additional investigations are needed.
The endometrium, or uterine lining, changes throughout the menstrual cycle.
A sonohysterogram can provide a closer look at the lining and help identify areas that appear unusual or require further assessment.
As the best IVF fertility clinic in London, we make your sonohysterogram simple and comfortable. Your fertility specialist will explain each stage clearly and guide you throughout the scan.
We begin with a transvaginal ultrasound to check your uterus and get a clear view before the sonohysterogram. This helps your specialist understand your uterine health before the saline is introduced.
A thin, soft catheter is gently passed through the cervix, and a small amount of sterile saline is introduced into the uterus. The saline gently opens the uterine cavity for a clearer view.
Once the saline is in place, we use ultrasound to examine the uterine cavity in detail. This can help identify polyps, fibroids, scar tissue, and other abnormalities that may affect fertility.
After the scan, your specialist will explain the findings in simple terms and answer your questions. If anything needs further investigation or treatment, we will discuss the most suitable next steps for your fertility journey.
Your clinic will provide specific preparation instructions based on your circumstances.
Sonohysterography is commonly scheduled during the earlier part of the menstrual cycle, after the period has finished and before ovulation.
You may be advised to confirm that you are not pregnant before the procedure. If you have symptoms of infection, unusual bleeding or other concerns, tell your fertility specialist before your appointment.
It is also helpful to ask about pain relief beforehand if you are concerned about cramping or discomfort.
Your sonohysterogram results give your fertility specialist a clearer picture of your uterine cavity. At Luna Fertility, we explain your findings in simple terms and help you understand the next steps.
Result Level | What the Scan May Show | What It Could Affect | Possible Next Step |
Normal | Healthy-looking uterine cavity | No obvious cavity-related concern | Continue with your fertility plan |
Mild Finding | Small polyp or minor irregularity | May have little or no effect on fertility | Monitoring or further assessment |
Moderate Finding | Larger polyp, fibroid or cavity change | May affect implantation or fertility treatment | Specialist review and treatment discussion |
Significant Finding | Scar tissue or major cavity abnormality | May interfere with implantation or pregnancy | Further investigation or treatment may be recommended |
Your result does not determine your fertility on its own. Your specialist will consider your symptoms, medical history and fertility goals before recommending the most suitable next step.
