Patient's question:
Three years ago, I had an ectopic pregnancy surgery at the maternity and child health hospital, where the fertilized egg was removed from the fallopian tube. On the operating table, I faintly heard the doctor say that my other fallopian tube was thin and long. For the past three years, I never thought about having a baby. Now I want to have a baby and want to check if my fallopian tubes are open. I heard that a fallopian tube can do this, is that right? Does it hurt during the procedure? If it's not open, what should I do? I'm very worried about whether the fallopian tube hurts.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, tubal contrast examination can cause certain pain to the body, but the degree of pain varies depending on the patient's condition. Some patients experience no pain at all. Tubal contrast examination does not cause significant pain, which may be influenced by the blockage of the contrast agent, pain perception, tubal spasm, excessive pressure during injection, or tubal blockage. Additionally, it is important not to be nervous during tubal contrast examination to avoid spasm and increased pain.
