Was wondering if anybody who has had the hsg done could shed any light ? Was anybodys first cycle after their hsg delayed and very heavy? This is my first cycle after hsg nearly a week later than normal (day36) and extremely heavy and painful was wondering if this is normal afterwards? The hosp didn’t mention this when I was there
Many thanks
Dear Gina88,
I am sorry to hear of your heavy period after the HSG test.
Sadly I am not medically trained so cannot give you specific advice on your symptoms. I have tried to research this for you but there is very little information from reputable sites. Anecdotally from looking at many other websites, it appears women can experience heavy bleeding after a HSG test.
I would just be mindful of infection as there is a small risk of infection following the test and if you are experiencing any of the following, please seek urgent medical advice-
Abnormal vaginal discharge, painful menstrual periods, painful or uncomfortable sexual intercourse, abdominal pain affecting both sides, frequent urination, spotting between periods, pain during ovulation, fever, and/or lower back pain.
I hope everything settles soon,
Sending much love,
Karen x
