Preparation for Sonohysterography
The procedure is performed in the first 10 days of the menstrual cycle after bleeding has ceased. If you have irregular or infrequent periods the timing should be discussed with your doctor or with us prior to making a booking.
In general it is not necessary to take antibiotics before the procedure but these may need to be considered in special circumstances. You should discuss the need for antibiotics with your referring doctor who will write a prescription for the antibiotics which need to be taken 2 hours prior to attendance for the procedure.
Will I need an anaesthetic?
Whilst you may experience some mild discomfort, this is not a painful procedure and therefore no anaesthesia is required. Some patients find a single dose 1 hour prior to the procedure of simple analgesia eg. Naprogesic helpful.
