Side effects from HSG?

[wenders]

Hi all. I'm going for an HSG this afternoon, and was wondering if other people have had it done, and what they experienced afterwards. They told me to take advil beforehand due to possible cramping during the procedure, but no one said anything about what it could feel like afterwards. Any insight would be appreciated--thanks! Wendy.

Ladies i just had my hsg done monday n i was so scared when i saw a needle but i calmed down after a nurse told me i wasnt gonna get poked by it overall i had no pain or i didnt feel anythin throughout the whole procedure except it feltfelt warm inside when the baloon started growing before the dye other than that no pain at all i guess it depends on a body today is 5th day after hsg n im passing gas for past 3days and i have a headache idk if im prego or its a side affect from the test

I totally agree with you, I had it done about two weeks ago and saw stars due to the pain and I took 4 advil.  My left tube was blocked and the Doctor kept shooting the dye and the balloon burst so the water / dye just went everywhere but my right tube was fine and open.  It was very painful, but it didn't last a few minutes and when it was over, after about 10 minutes, I was fine.  A little shaken and weak but not really any pain afterwards. Take a pad, because you will need one or they may provide you with one, as they did me. Hope everything turns out good for you!!

I had a hsg yesterday and about three hours later my abdomen became very distended and painful. Still very painful today. Any thoughts?
