Patient's question:
Married for over a year and still not pregnant, my husband's family is getting anxious. I've seen a Chinese medicine doctor several times and taken many traditional Chinese medicine remedies, but they haven't worked. Today, my husband took me to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I could have a fallopian tube to see if there's a blockage. I'm afraid of pain, so I want to ask if the fallopian tube hurts?Doctor's answer:
Hysterosalpingography may not be painful, and it depends on the condition of the fallopian tubes. If the tubes are patent but not fully open, it is possible to experience pain. In cases of complete patency or complete blockage, the procedure is almost painless. There is no need to worry; just follow the schedule and have the examination carefully. One week before the examination, it is best not to have sexual intercourse, as it can easily lead to infection. After the examination, you should avoid sexual intercourse for two weeks. If there are no abnormalities, you can have intercourse after ovulation tests and after menopause.
