Saline Sonography (SIS)
Saline Sonography, also known as Saline Infusion Sonography (SIS), is a specialized ultrasound procedure that provides a clearer view of the uterine cavity. During the examination, a small amount of sterile saline is gently introduced into the uterus, allowing specialists to identify abnormalities that may affect fertility or reproductive health.
At Life IVF Multan, Saline Sonography is performed using advanced ultrasound technology by experienced fertility specialists to support accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment planning.
Why is Saline Sonography Performed?
Saline Sonography is recommended to evaluate the inside of the uterus in greater detail and detect conditions that may not be visible on a standard ultrasound.
It helps diagnose:
- Uterine polyps
- Fibroids inside the uterine cavity
- Tubal Patency
