New study: ultrasound test may unlock hidden cause of infertility after C-Section
NCT ID NCT07610668
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 300 women who had a C-section and are now having trouble getting pregnant or have other symptoms. Researchers use a special ultrasound called saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) to check the scar on the uterus. The goal is to see how well SIS finds scar defects and how these defects relate to infertility, so doctors can make better treatment decisions.
