Has Anyone Who Had A HSG (fertility) Test, Experienced Severe And Long Lasting Pain Afterwards?
I had my first HSG test on 23rd June. The pain during the exam was horrendous, I was (not very successfully fighting back tears). I would opt for another lap before I had that done again. As soon as he removed everything I felt instant relief. I went to work after, because I felt fine (a mistake, I now see). About 2 hours later the pain suddenly turned very severe. I couldn’t walk, or move and certainly couldn’t drive home. I spent the rest of the day in bed with a hot water bottle, painkillers… read more
Thank you for your detailed reply!
I have a severe infection, some of the dye they used stayed my tubes, and has become infected. I am on 3 types of antibiotics, 2 oral and 1 internal, anti inflammatories, Tramadol and Paracetamol. If the pain hasn’t eased in 3 days, I have to go back to be given the antibiotics via IV.
The scaring isn’t inside my tubes, it’s outside - glueing them in place. I actually live in Spain and it’s hard here too. I already have private insurance, so luckily get the best and newest pills etc on offer, however excision isn’t an option.
I have just changed gynos, and my new one is super sympathetic and helpful. She is always looking for something to make things better, where as my old one was just happy to keep everything the same.
When I was first diagnosed, I ended up in A&E with severe abdominal pain, they thought it was appendicitis. Turned out to be 2 10cm cysts on my left ovary. I was admitted through A&E - this was when I first met the old gyno. He told me they were indeed endometriosis cysts (Is bee trying to get a diagnosis for 8 years but kept being told there was nothing wrong, 2 doctors told me I 100% didn’t have it via an ultrasound). He told me to come back in 6 months, or if they began to hurt. I had to refuse to leave his office until he agreed to a lap, mainly to remove the cysts, as If been in increasing pain for months and then for a diagnosis. He told me there was no point, as they couldn’t do anything to treat endo via a lap. I was well researched by this point and explained there indeed was something they could do. At this point he said ‘Yes, well sometimes it can help’ When I came round from the op, he greeted me with ‘The endo was worse than WE thought’. I’d know for years it wasn’t good!
I am currently researching through the tonnes of conflicting info with regards to diet, I don’t know which one is for the best. I will take a look at your document!
Thank you so much! Just being able to talk to people is a massive deal.
