This x-ray is useful in determining if the fallopian tubes and uterus are normally
structured, and if the tubes are open. It is performed at our North Tampa
Office, and should be done between the 6th and 12th cycle day. Call the office
to schedule your hysterosalpingogram at the onset of your menses the month you
will have the test performed.
The hysterosalpingogram takes about 15 minutes to complete, and may be associated with
mild discomfort. You will be given a prescription for an antibiotic and a pain
medication when you schedule the procedure. You may have some mild bleeding or
spotting afterwards. Should you experience bleeding heavier than a period, or a
temperature above 100.4 degrees, call the office at which you are seen. If you are
allergic to shell fish or iodine, or have had a prior reaction to x-ray dye, it is
important that you inform the office when you schedule the procedure.
