Hysterosalpingography is too painful

There are many factors that lead to female infertility, the most common of which is fallopian tube blockage. When checking whether this situation exists, hysterosalpingography is needed. Some women feel that the hysterosalpingography is too painful. This examination does cause patients to feel some discomfort, but it does not last very long and will not affect women's health.

Is salpingography harmful to the body?

Hysterosalpingography needs to be performed under X-rays, which exposes the body to X-rays. The operation itself is an "invasive" operation. Although neither the contrast agent nor the X-rays cause direct damage to the ovaries, it cannot be said that there is no effect at all. However, damage caused by this brief, low-dose radiation exposure is mild.

Is salpingography painful?

Hysterosalpingography only takes 20 minutes and requires injectable anesthesia to relieve the patient's pain. It does not require hospitalization and generally does not cause any special effects on the fallopian tubes.

Not everyone will experience pain. Under normal circumstances, most patients should not feel pain. Some nervous people may feel obvious abdominal pain, but generally speaking, pain is not common. As long as you are fully prepared mentally and try to relax yourself during the angiography, you can avoid pain to the greatest extent and ensure the accuracy of the angiography.

When is the best time to do angiography?

The best time to do hysterosalpingography is on the 3rd to 7th day after the menstrual period ends, because at this time the female's endometrial environment is most suitable for examination and the test results will be more accurate.

If hysterosalpingography is performed too early, it is easy to cause infection. This is because there is a wound on the female endometrium and the contrast agent may cause infection.

If it is done too late and the endometrium has proliferated and thickened, the pressure during the examination may push the thickened endometrium to the entrance of the fallopian tube and cause a misdiagnosis of fallopian tube obstruction, affecting the results of the examination and easily leading to bleeding.
