Here are some general steps for HSG Test:
Preparation: You will be asked to change into hospital gown and lie on the examination table. Your healthcare provider may give you pain relief or anti-inflammatory medications before the test.
Speculum Insertion: Your healthcare provider will insert a speculum into your vagina to visualize the cervix.
Catheter Insertion: A thin tube called catheter is inserted through cervix into uterus. It may cause little bit discomfort or sometime cramping.
Dye Injection: A special dye is injected into the uterus through the catheter, and the dye will flow through the fallopian tubes. This can cause some discomfort or pressure.
Imaging: X-ray images are taken to visualize the uterus and fallopian tubes, and to look for any abnormalities or blockages in the tubes.
Completion: Once the procedure is completed, the catheter is removed, and you will be asked to rest for a few minutes.
The entire procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, and you can usually return to your regular activities afterward. You may experience some mild cramping, spotting, or discharge after the procedure, but this should go away within a few hours. Your healthcare provider will discuss the results of the HSG test with you after the procedure.
