简要总结
Hysterosalpingography is usually painful and the use of thin catheters of IUI could be an attractive alternative . we conducted a randomised controlled trial to compare the standard metal cannula to the thin catheter originally manufactured for intrauterine insemination. Pain assessment was done using visual analogue scale
详细描述
HSG is widely practiced in our country, however, for cost effective reasons, the standard metal cannula is the only method used at our hospital. It is painful procedure because it requires grasping the cervix with a tenaculum and inducing some cervical dilatation during introduction of the cannula. The aim of this pilot study was to modify the technique of HSG using a thinner than normal catheter, and without grasping the cervix with a tenaculum. Leakage of the dye through the cervix was prevented by pressing on the portiovaginalis of the cervix using the vaginal speculum.
