I'm feeling a bit worried because my wife's been advised to get an HSG X-ray test. Is this something that's complicated? I'm also concerned about whether it might affect her chances of getting pregnant in the future. Could it possibly cause any infections or have side effects?

HSG (Hysterosalpingography) is a common radiology procedure used to evaluate the shape of the uterine cavity and the patency of the fallopian tubes. It involves injecting a contrast dye into the uterus and fallopian tubes while taking X-ray images. The procedure itself is generally safe and well-tolerated, with minimal complexities. It is not known to have a negative impact on future pregnancies. However, like any medical procedure, there are risks of infection or side effects, such as pelvic discomfort, cramping, or a slight risk of allergic reaction to the contrast dye used. These risks are usually minimal and the benefits of the test often outweigh the potential risks. It is important to follow any pre-test instructions provided by the healthcare provider and to inform the medical team of any allergies or medical conditions before undergoing the HSG test.

I've been experiencing some pain and swelling down there, and I noticed that my vaginal lips are really swollen. It's quite uncomfortable. I'm wondering if it could be because we didn't use enough lubricant during sex. What can I do about this?
