Marchbein, M.D. FACOG Just to be fair, the HSG (hysterosalpingogram) has the advantage of showing whether or not the tubes are blocked.

But the SHG does seem to be more comfortable. -- Laurie Lovely, MD RE fellow, UNC-Chapel Hill Next message: kate: "Diflucan and Birth Control Pills" Previous message: anonymous@obgyn.net: "Tiredness and memory loss after hysterectomy" In reply to: Harvey S.
