Is tubal contrast under general anesthesia very painful?

Patient's question:

Friend has been married for over ten years without children and recently found out she has blocked fallopian tubes. She needs to have fallopian tube angiography. Does fallopian tube angiography under general anesthesia hurt?

Doctor's answer:

Fallopian tube blockage is a conclusion confirmed through fallopian tube. If you are considering a fallopian tube unblocking surgery, it would require a combined laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery, which must be performed under general anesthesia so that you don't feel any pain. When undergoing a simple fallopian tube, anesthesia is not necessary. It only involves the injection of contrast dye. If the tubes are, you won't feel any pain. If they are not, the contrast dye cannot move forward, and it is only necessary to take X-ray images to see where the blockage is located.
