A saline ultrasound, also known as a saline infusion sonogram (SIS), is a specialized imaging procedure used to evaluate the uterus and the endometrial lining. During the procedure, a sterile saline solution is introduced into the uterus through a catheter, which helps to expand the uterine cavity. This saline infusion allows for better visualization of the uterine walls and the structures inside, providing a clearer image compared to a standard ultrasound. The saline highlights potential abnormalities, such as polyps, fibroids, or adhesions, that may not be visible on a conventional ultrasound.

At Conceptions Fertility Center, the saline ultrasound is performed by a trained healthcare provider using advanced ultrasound technology. This non-invasive procedure is particularly helpful for women experiencing infertility or recurrent miscarriage, as it allows doctors to identify issues that could be affecting the ability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term. The saline ultrasound is a valuable tool in diagnosing uterine conditions and helps guide the treatment plan for patients seeking fertility assistance.

A saline ultrasound is typically recommended when a woman is experiencing infertility, recurrent miscarriages, or abnormal bleeding. It can also be used to assess the overall health of the uterus and to identify any structural abnormalities that may interfere with conception or pregnancy. Conditions that may warrant a saline ultrasound include:

● Uterine fibroids: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding or infertility.

● Polyps: Small growths in the uterine lining that can interfere with implantation or cause irregular bleeding.

● Adhesions or scar tissue: Often caused by previous surgeries or infections, adhesions can distort the uterine shape and prevent conception.

● Abnormal bleeding: When a patient experiences unusual or prolonged bleeding, a saline ultrasound can help identify the underlying cause.

At Conceptions Fertility Center, our experts evaluate your medical history and symptoms to determine whether a saline ultrasound is necessary as part of a comprehensive fertility or gynecological evaluation.

A saline ultrasound differs from a standard ultrasound in that it involves the infusion of sterile saline into the uterus to enhance imaging. In a standard ultrasound, sound waves are used to create images of the organs and structures inside the body, but it may not provide a clear view of certain internal uterine conditions. The saline infusion in a saline ultrasound helps to distend the uterine cavity, providing a more detailed image and allowing healthcare providers to detect issues such as uterine fibroids, polyps, or structural abnormalities that may not be visible on a regular ultrasound.

While a standard ultrasound is typically used for routine imaging and general assessments of the pelvic area, a saline ultrasound is a more targeted procedure designed to specifically examine the uterus and uterine lining. This makes it an invaluable tool for fertility assessments and the diagnosis of conditions that could affect pregnancy.
