Sonohysterogram (SHG) under sedation

How to prepare when your SHG is done with sedation

Your physician has ordered a sonohysterogram under sedation for you. This means you will be given sedation before the SHG procedure for comfort.

This is not covered by provincial health insurance and has a fee. You will pay for this in your patient app.

How to prepare

  1. Do not eat after midnight the night before.
  2. Do not drink for 2 hours before.
  3. Antibiotics: take your dose on the morning of your sono appointment with water only.
  4. Please arrive 30–45 minutes before the procedure and check in at the front desk.
  5. You will need a support person to drive you home, as this will be done under sedation.
