HSG + ENDO
Hello,
I am currently TTC and I am being told i need to get a HSG test, which is a test where they inject a liquid to your uterus and fallopian tubes to check if fallopian tubes are closed? Has anyone had this procedure with endometriosis before? Does it hurt?
Hi
, this is a great question. I haven't had an HSG, but had a very similar procedure with liquid injected into the uterus, and I've performed that procedure many times. I'd say that the level of discomfort really varies from person to person. I mean, just having a speculum in is never fun. In my own experience, it was a pretty severe but very brief cramp. Your doctor may suggest taking some anti-inflammatory medication before the procedure to decrease the cramping--you could check in about that if they haven't said anything. You may be able to listen to some music during the procedure, if that helps you get through. Sending best wishes for you on your fertility journey! -Audrey (endometriosis.net team)
