Patient's question:
I previously had a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) done myself, and now I need to go for a follow-up examination. What should I pay attention to for a follow-up HSG?Doctor's answer:
For tubal surgery, it is generally recommended to undergo the examination within one week after the menstrual period is clean. Additionally, sexual activity should be avoided before the examination. It is also important to carefully check for any acute vaginal inflammation-related diseases. If any such diseases are present, the examination cannot be performed at that time. Furthermore, during the examination, there may be mild abdominal pain, which is a normal phenomenon.
