Is tubal catheterization painful?

Patient's question:

Today I am undergoing fallopian tube, the doctor asked me if I have ever given birth. If not, they might need to insert a catheter, saying that otherwise it cannot be done. If the catheter insertion is not possible, it cannot be done. I am feeling a bit upset now. I want to understand if the will be painful, or if the catheter insertion will be very painful. Is there a painless?

Doctor's answer:

Is your menstrual cycle regular? How often do you have your period? Do you usually experience abdominal pain? It is recommended to have a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) at the hospital after your menstrual period ends for 3 to 7 days. Always maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia and pay attention to personal hygiene.
This is the advice for the question "Today I came to do a hysterosalpingogram, and the doctor asked if I have ever given birth." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
