A hysterosalpingogram, or HSG is an important test of female fertility potential. The HSG test is a radiology procedure usually done in the radiology department of a hospital or outpatient radiology facility. Radiographic contrast (dye) is injected into the uterine cavity through the vagina and cervix The uterine cavity fills with dye and if the fallopian tubes are open, dye fills the tubes and spills into the abdominal cavity. However, let your doctor know if you experience symptoms of infection, including: fever. Severe pain and cramping. Foul-smelling vaginal discharge. Fainting. Heavy vaginal bleeding. Vomiting. Complications from a hysterosalpingography are rare. Possible risks include: allergic reaction to contrast dye endometrial (uterine lining) or fallopian tube infection injury to the uterus, such as perforation. After the test, you may continue to have cramps similar to those experienced during a menstrual cycle. You may also experience vaginal discharge or slight vaginal bleeding. You should use a pad instead of a tampon to avoid infection during this time. Some women also experience dizziness and nausea after the test. These side effects are normal and will eventually go away. However, let your doctor know if you experience symptoms of infection. After the test, the radiologist will send your doctor the results. Your doctor will go over the results with you. Depending on the results, your doctor may want to do follow-up examinations or order further tests.
