Patient's question:
Hello: Is it painful to check if the fallopian tubes are blocked with contrast? I'm not sure if my fallopian tubes are blocked, so I was thinking of getting checked. Is this fallopian tube contrast examination painful?Doctor's answer:
Your situation requires a tubal contrast examination for confirmation. Tubal contrast can also be painless. If the fallopian tubes are well-patent, there will be no pain. If they are patent but not fully open, there may be some pain. If they are completely blocked, there may be mild or severe pain, depending on individual differences. Generally, it is not severe pain. You can rest assured.
