Patient's question:
Tubal problems exist, and it is necessary to perform a contrast examination. Is tubal contrast examination painless? What are the consequences if the contrast examination is not performed well?Doctor's answer:
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) involves injecting a contrast dye through a catheter into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes, followed by X-ray imaging to examine the morphology of the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes for any abnormalities. It can also help clear minor blockages. There is also a painless option for HSG, but it comes at a higher cost. The procedure is relatively simple, but the success rate is relatively low. If it is not successful, it may affect the examination results and delay treatment.
