What a saline infusion sonohysterography looks at

Sonohysterography, on referral, uses a small amount of sterile fluid to outline the inside of the womb. It is a safe, painless scan that uses sound waves — no radiation — and is interpreted by an experienced clinician who provides a clear written report.

Saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS), arranged on referral, uses a small amount of sterile fluid passed into the womb to outline the endometrial cavity, making polyps and fibroids inside the cavity much clearer than on a standard scan. It is used for abnormal uterine bleeding, a suspected endometrial polyp, or fertility assessment on referral.

Conditions this saline infusion sonohysterography can show

A saline infusion sonohysterography at Tower Bridge Hospital is commonly used to look for and assess:

Your scan is interpreted by an experienced clinician who explains the findings in a clear written report, with advice on any next steps. A normal scan is often just as valuable — giving you firm reassurance.

Reasons you might need this scan

People commonly have a saline infusion sonohysterography for reasons such as:

One flat fee. Every diagnostic ultrasound is the same price — we do not itemise or add a separate report fee. See our price list for the current fee.

How to prepare and what to expect

This scan is arranged on referral and is best done in the first half of the menstrual cycle (after your period, before ovulation). The procedure is explained and consented beforehand. Simple pain relief an hour before can help. Your scan takes around 15–30 minutes. During the scan a small amount of warm gel is applied and the probe is moved gently over the area. It is painless and there is no radiation. You will receive a doctor-led written report, usually the same day or shortly afterwards, with clear advice on any next steps. We are open 7 days a week, 9am–7pm, with same-day and walk-in appointments in Whitechapel, East London.

Saline Infusion Sonohysterography — common questions

What does adding saline show that a normal scan doesn't?

The fluid outlines the inside of the womb, so polyps and fibroids that bulge into the cavity — a common cause of abnormal bleeding — stand out clearly.

Is sonohysterography painful?

Some women feel mild period-like cramping during the procedure, which usually settles quickly. Taking simple pain relief beforehand can help.

How much does a saline infusion sonohysterography cost?

We charge one flat fee for any diagnostic ultrasound, with no itemising and no separate report fee. See our fees page for the current price.

Do I need a GP referral for a saline infusion sonohysterography?

No referral is needed for most scans — you can book directly. A small number of specialist scans are done on referral; we will tell you clearly if that applies.

How long does the scan take and when do I get results?

Most scans take 15–30 minutes and you receive a doctor-led written report, usually the same day or shortly afterwards.
