Patient's question:
Hello: I would like to ask if the fallopian tube examination is painful? I have been married for several years and still haven't had children, so I want to get an examination of the fallopian tubes. I don't know if the examination of the fallopian tubes is painful, is it possible to get anesthesia? What is put in for the examination? Because I am still young and have experienced very little, I am a bit worried. I would like to learn more.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if it's unobstructed, it won't be painful; if it's obstructed, it will be painful. Doing a hydrotubation is useless; it's better to do an imaging test for clearer results. You should first get a gynecological examination. If there is inflammation, it cannot be done. If it's qualified, you'll get an injection to relax the muscles, then the contrast agent will be injected into one side of the uterus while taking X-rays, and then you'll take another X-ray after about forty minutes. Don't worry and go ahead with it. The gynecological examination takes about five minutes, then you need to wait for the results. Once the results are out, you'll clean the female reproductive tract, which takes another five minutes. Next, you'll do the imaging test, which takes about ten minutes, and then wait another forty minutes to take the final X-ray.
