What is the meaning of fallopian tube and is it painful?

Patient's question:

What is the meaning of fallopian tube? Is it painful?? My friend said it might be very painful, I want to ask the doctor, is it true?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, fallopian tube is a procedure where a catheter is used to inject contrast medium into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. X-rays are then used for fluoroscopy and imaging, followed by analysis of the contrast medium's appearance in the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity to assess the patency of the fallopian tubes, the location of blockages, and the morphology of the uterine cavity. It is currently a common method for examining fallopian tubes. The procedure uses absorbable iohexol contrast medium, is painless, has no side effects on the body, and does not affect short-term pregnancy attempts.
