Is tubal contrast harmful to the human body?

Patient's question:

Divorced for over ten years without getting pregnant, my husband had a thorough check-up and there were no issues with his sperm. I feel it might be my problem. I've already gone to the hospital for a check-up, and everything else was fine except for the fallopian tubes, which weren't thoroughly checked. It's possible that the issue lies with the fallopian tubes. I'm upset about getting a fallopian tube exam, because I've heard it's very painful, and I'm afraid it might harm my body. Is fallopian tube harmful to the human body?

Doctor's answer:

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) poses no significant harm to the human body; it only causes a slight discomfort during the procedure. If the fallopian tubes are blocked, it may cause pain. After the examination, it is important to take anti-inflammatory medication. Strictly avoid sexual activity after the HSG to prevent infection and the onset of gynecological diseases. If you have any health issues, undergo thorough examination and do not fear treatment. Wishing you good health.
For patients, if the gynecological condition is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, the disease may recur. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood.
