A member asked:

Getting hsg done. never had any surgery or mc. is there chance my tube is still blocked? is it painful? i'm really susceptible to pain! please advise!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The reason for doing the test is to make sure that your tube is not blocked. The test can be uncomfortable, so i would take ibuprofen/alleve an hour before (as long as you don't have an allergy). You may also get antibiotics to take afterward depending on the test results.
