'''Vaginogram''' is a medical imaging procedure used to visualize the structure of the [[vagina]]. It is typically performed by injecting a contrast medium into the vagina and then taking X-ray images. The procedure is used to diagnose and evaluate conditions such as [[vaginal fistula]]s, [[vaginal atresia]], and other abnormalities of the vagina.

==Procedure==
The vaginogram procedure begins with the patient lying on their back on an X-ray table. A speculum is inserted into the vagina to allow for the injection of the contrast medium. The contrast medium is then injected, and X-ray images are taken. The images can reveal abnormalities in the structure of the vagina, such as fistulas or atresia.

==Uses==
Vaginograms are used to diagnose and evaluate a variety of conditions affecting the vagina. These include:

* [[Vaginal fistula]]s: These are abnormal connections between the vagina and other organs, such as the bladder or rectum. A vaginogram can help to locate the fistula and determine its size and extent.
* [[Vaginal atresia]]: This is a condition in which the vagina is abnormally narrow or completely closed. A vaginogram can reveal the extent of the atresia and help to plan treatment.
* Other abnormalities: Vaginograms can also be used to investigate other abnormalities of the vagina, such as diverticula, cysts, or tumors.

==Risks==
As with any medical procedure, there are some risks associated with a vaginogram. These include:

* Allergic reaction to the contrast medium
* Infection
* Damage to the vagina or surrounding tissues

Patients should discuss these risks with their doctor before undergoing a vaginogram.

* [[Cystogram]]
* [[Fistulogram]]
