Many people are unable to conceive normally due to their own reasons. The method of hysterosalpingography is a test performed to address issues with the fallopian tubes, but for those who are undergoing this examination for the first time, they may feel scared. So does hysterosalpingography hurt?
Hysterosalpingography only takes twenty minutes, and doctors will inject anesthesia into patients to alleviate their pain, which most patients will not feel. But it cannot be ruled out that some people who are mentally tense may also feel some pain during the examination process. Patients should maintain a good mentality and try to relax their body and mind as much as possible, which can alleviate their pain to the greatest extent possible.
This examination is an operation that invades the human body under the irradiation of X-rays and will not have a direct impact on the human body. Patients can receive the examination with peace of mind, and there is no need for hospitalization during the examination process. The time for choosing contrast imaging should be within 3 to 7 days after the end of menstruation, when the uterine environment is in the optimal state for examination, which can ensure the accuracy of the results.
Early acceptance of hysterosalpingography can lead to uterine infection, and if it is too late, it can cause thickening of the endometrium. At this time, the pressure of the examination may push the thickened endometrium into the fallopian tubes, affecting the results of the examination and even leading to bleeding.
