What advantages does HyFoSY ExEm® Foam have over traditional methods like conventional hysterosalpingography (HSG) or laparoscopy?
The HyFoSy ExEm® Foam system offers several advantages over conventional methods for assessing fallopian tube permeability:
- Less invasive and safer: It does not require radiation or iodine contrast media.
- Less painful: HyFoSy ExEm® Foam is less painful than hysterosalpingography (HSG). Studies have shown that it reduces pain by more than 50% on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), offering the patient a more comfortable option.
- Faster: The procedure takes 10-15 minutes. The results are immediate as the specialist observes the foam flow in real time using transvaginal ultrasound.
- More convenient: It is performed in the doctor´s office by using transvaginal ultrasound, without need of hospitalization.
- High reliability: HyFoSy ExEm® Foam has shown 100% concordance with hysterosalpingography (HSG) and 97% concordance with laparoscopy, making it a highly reliable alternative for evaluating tubal permeability.
- Comparable fertility outcomes: Studies have shown that pregnancy rates after using HyFoSy ExEm® Foam are similar to those achieved with HSG.
