I had this done in April. It wasn't as bad as I thought. Everything went well and I ended up pregnant naturally about a month later

[@drlorashahine]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! I'm glad it went well for you.

[@karinegraham4763]

Hi ladies. Had this procedure done this AM. I only write this comment to help someone who is apprehensive about this procedure, as I was before hand. Especially when reading the comment sections. As I entered the room I asked about pain during the procedure. Dr gave a fair response "everyone is different." THIS IS TRUE. Zero pain. If anything, discomfort in a few moments. I also needed to have an advanced balloon inserted deeper into the cervical cavity. The Dr did say it would be painful but I had no pain at all. However, I did take Ibuprofen 2hrs before the procedure. Some leakage after but nothing out of the ordinary. Best wishes x

[@PeteHob]

In the same way that a comment about how painful a procedure was for a particular person, a patient telling everyone don’t worry there is nothing to worry about. I felt nothing neither is particularly helpful in the big picture. Since so, many women have a horrible experience with this procedure, that should be mentioned and more importantly, general anesthesia should be offered to patient. I know physicians hate to hear that, but I see no reason why you should not err of compassion

[@Labrli]

[@flyingblackbird2126]

This was extremely painful for me and after all was said and done the results were inconclusive because the fluid kept leaking out. My advice is make sure the doctor is experienced. I met my doctor moments before the procedure and he appeared barely old enough to legally drink.

[@zhazhagab0r]

Lol I had the EXACT same experience last week. Had bilateral proximal blockage, but they had to keep reinserting the catheter.

I had this procedure done today. I must say, it was very painful for me. But on the bright side, my fallopian tubes were not blocked 🙌🏾

[@mirroredsilence8900]

I had this and an SIS don’t back in April. It was the most painful thing I have ever done. The SIS was only worse because the radiologist I had provided no bedside manner or empathy. These things need to be handled carefully and I wish my experiences were better but luckily they found what my issue was and had surgery shortly after to correct it. I hope anyone scheduled for this procedure understands that everyone’s body is different and responds differently to foreign bodies and pain. So please, do not discredit yourself if this is insufferable for you. Please, also bring a driver with you just in case.

[@adee6074]

Girl same! I took Valium and it still was so incredibly painful! My results were 2 blocked tubes 💔 on to IVF for us.

Had this done last month. The most painful thing i have ever experienced. And no it wasnt cramping or discomfort or pressure. It was just. sheer. Pain.

[@PatriciaDidier-k2n]

I just had mine this morning. Right tube blocked 😢 I still got my left one tho! All you need is one. The procedure itself took 5-10 minutes. I felt the speculum placement which felt like a normal ob/GYN exam. I was cleaned with iodine which felt kinda rough but not painful at all. I didn’t even feel the cannula being placed. When the dye was introduced the cramping started. Especially on the left side. I’d rate it 3/10 pain. Mostly pressure. I’m having light spotting, cramping on left side, and dye still leaking out. I’m 4 hours post procedure. The cramping now is also a burning sensation. I’d rate the post procedure pain 5/10. Overall it wasn’t horrible. If you’ve ever had period cramps or been in labor you can definitely tolerate this.

[@shilpee6162]

Mine left one blocked.😢😢

[@sarametalhead88]

I had this done today and for me it was completely fine. No pain at all. I didn't feel anything. A smear test is more uncomfortable than this to me. I was completely terrified beforehand after reading comments. Advice: have paracetamol and/or ibuprofen one hour before and try to relax as much as you can, you'll be completely fine.

How does this procedure work at making you more fertile? Does it clear any blockages? I’m so confused about how people were able to get pregnant after this procedure? I thought an HSG procedure was to only look at your anatomy? Please explain.

I got it done today It definitely didn't feel great😂😂 put on a scale of 1 to 10 and the pain was a seven possibly an 8 and 1/2. But the good news is it only hurts for literally 15 to 30 seconds The whole thing was over and under 2 minutes. It wasn't the insertion of the catheter that hurt the balloon started cramping a little bit but when they push the fluid that hurt but that's the quickest part also. I was bracing myself for more pain and then it was over😂

[@ishuthey]

I still understand how you can see it on screen. Do you put a camera inside or how?

[@krishnapatel8838]

I had my HSG today and my experience was positive. I understand everyone’s bodies are different but trust me when I say it’s not as bad at all. The test itself literally took 2 mins from speculum placement to contrast to withdrawing the equipment. I didn’t feel any pain or burning with dye whatsoever. I was surprised. The only discomfort I felt was with speculum and when they manipulated my cervix to get into the uterus. That’s it. Overall not bad at all. I’ll do this test again in a heartbeat if I had to. My doc gave me a clean bill of health - no blockages and even showed me my uterus and fallopian tubes on the monitor.

Not traditionally - other STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhea can causes tubal disease and pelvic scarring but syphilis typically doesn’t. Late stage syphilis can cause health issues but early treatment is not typically associated with infertility.

How can block tube be opened?

[@drlorashahine]

There is a procedure offered with interventional radiology in which under fluoroscopy and tube is placed through the cervix, into the opening of the tube in the uterine cavity and fluid used under high pressure to try to open the tube. 20-30 years ago people would try to fix tubes with surgery. Unfortunately most interventions are not successful. Reminder: if you have one open tube you can still conceive with ovulation from either ovary! Reminder #2 IVF is an option for tubal disease

[@mafahla844]

Where are you based

[@Dr_Chizzy_Spikey]

Does a hsg cause ovarian cyst ?

[@drlorashahine]

In a way yes. The follicle that releases the egg from the ovary turns into a corpus luteum cyst that produces progesterone in the second half of the menstrual cycle. bHCG made by the pregnancy stimulates the corpus luteum cyst to continue to make the hormones that support the pregnancy. So the HCG didn’t MAKE the cyst but it does stimulate its presence and many women have a cyst in pregnancy for this reason. Thank you for watching.
