introduction: in a prospective blind study, we evaluated sonohysterography (shg) as a diagnostic tool for uterine cavity and tubal patency and compare shg with laparoscopy in tubal patency and hysterosalpyngography for uterine anomaly as gold standard methods. material and methods: 76 infertile patients undergone shg and hsg and laparoscopy and comparison between the different diagnostic techni...

background: abnormal uterine bleeding is a common presentation of uterine abnormalities among premenopausal and postmenopausal women. objective: to evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of saline contrast sonohysterography and hysteroscopy for detecting the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. materials and methods: a total of 65 women with abnormal uterine bleeding were enrolled in this ...
