Hysterosalpingography is a diagnostic procedure that involves injecting dye into the uterus and taking X-rays to see if the dye flows freely through the uterus and uterine tubes. Culdoscopy involves inserting a scope through the vaginal wall to view the pelvic cavity, but it does not directly assess the patency of the uterus and uterine tubes. Pelvic ultrasonography can visualize the uterus and uterine tubes but cannot assess their patency. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to directly visualize the pelvic organs, but it is more invasive than hysterosalpingography and typically reserved for cases where the cause of infertility is not identified with other diagnostic tests.
