Does checking for blocked fallopian tubes hurt?

Patient's question:

I've been married for two years and have always been unable to have children. I suspect it might be due to blocked fallopian tubes. Will it hurt if I get a thorough check-up for blocked fallopian tubes?

Doctor's answer:

You have been married for two years without getting pregnant, and you are worried about blocked fallopian tubes, so you want to undergo a thorough examination. For a thorough examination of blocked fallopian tubes, a contrast agent is anesthetized from the vagina into the uterine cavity. It is generally not painful, so you have absolutely no need to worry excessively. However, one week before the procedure, you must avoid sexual activity and maintain good local hygiene.
