My wife had a HSG Test done w/ x-rays 4 days ago. Last night she was complaining about a sharp pain in the lower left quadrant of her lower abdomen. She said it was very painful and was not going away or becoming less intense. By the time for today came, she was complaining about the pain, it being 5/5 at times. She described this pain as a sharp stabbing constant pain. However, now the pain is radiating around the lower left of her abdomen to her lower left back. The area is very tender and the pain spikes even when slightly pushed on in both the areas, abdomen and lower back. Is this a common side-effect of having the HSG Test? Especially if both of her tubes are blocked and she has been diagnosed with Endometriosis. Please help me figure this out so I know whether or not she needs to be seen at a hospital.

Hi,
By telling that she also has fever,one thing is confirmed that she has an infection. Now if she has problem in her micturition too then either the infection is in her urinary tract or the pelvis which will have to be seen first and then an antibiotic can be started. So you have to consult your doctor now.

Hi!!
The pain after getting an HSG test done,will not come after 4-5 days as you have described,rather this pain is probably due to other causes.

Kindly review with your nearest hospital about the cause of the pain which may be due to renal colic ,ureteric colic,etc ... Read Full Answer

Doctor's Answer
Hi,
The brand does not matter I believe. However I have used only rabipur. Diet does not matter after ARV or tetanus.
And no there no single ARV. It is a combination of 5 dose injection which is taken as follows (0,3,7,14,28) these represent as days.
No further test needs to be done for now. ... Read Full Answer
