“…We attempted to look for a better assessment process and the proficiency of intubation and operation reduced the use less of the SonoVue and the overall examination time. Similar research were documented by Savelli et al [18] The authors examined the mean numeric rating scale in 669 infertile women going through 2 D HyCoSy. Compared with Savelli et al, our study found patients with a higher mean numeric rating scale (4.7 ± 2.6 vs 2.7 ± 2.5) and higher proportion of patients who felt moderate or severe pain.…”

4-Dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (4 D HyCoSy) using SonoVue is regarded as a really good option available for evaluating fallopian tubal patency. This study was designed to assess the pain and adverse effects incurred by women undergoing 4 D HyCoSy. Through evaluating the pelvic pain immediately after 4 D HyCoSy and 30 min after 4 D HyCoSy, the circumstances of the pain relief was also observed. The predictive factors of pain were assessed simultaneously. 827 consecutive women as part of infertility evaluation were included. The pain experienced was then assessed on a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS). Each patient was questioned to rate the pain at two different points of time (T1, immediately after 4 D HyCoSy; T2, 30 min after 4 D HyCoSy). 818/827 (98.9%) patients completed the procedure. Pain was experienced by 757/818 (92.5%) of subjects. 30 min after HyCoSy procedure, only 0.5% (4/818) patients feel severe pelvic pain and after 15-30 minutes of rest, these patients were relieved of pain. Age, cycle length, duration of menses, and duration of infertility were not significantly correlated with pain associated with 4 D HyCoSy as assessed by VAS. Women with tubal obstruction experienced a significant increase in 4 D HyCoSy-associated pain. There were significant differences in the degree of pain between different tubal patency (p <0.01). Overall, 4 D HyCoSy, a userfriendly, multidimensional technology, has the advantage of real-time, dynamic, well tolerated, and low serious complications, which make it a good way for evaluating fallopian tubal patency. The technique aids in making choices concerning further procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. Most of women experience pain associated with the procedure and 30 minute period of observation is useful.

“…Patients pointed out the maximum pain intensity encountered by making a vertical line on the VAS. In accordance to Savelli et al [18], we considered "absent" pelvic pain to be a score as 0 VAS, "mild" pelvic pain to be a score from 1 to 4 VAS, "moderate" from 5 to 7 VAS, and "severe" from 8 to 10 VAS.…”

“…It offered a quick method of assessing tubal patency, obviating the need for ionizing radiation or general anesthesia [5,6]. Though pooled data from literature reported acceptable pain tolerance during the HyCoSy examination, the tolerance varies according to the used installation volume and contrast material [12][13][14]. Furthermore, the dyes were declared unsafe for gynecological use and could only be used for Doppler microvasculature.…”

Background: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a vital part of fertility evaluation, and can be painful and cause moderate to severe pain as reported by women. Hysterosalpingo-Foam Sonography (HyFoSy) is a quick, well-tolerated and less painful procedure than HSG for tubal patency testing. Moreover, HyFoSy is safe, non-invasive procedure, economic, and time efficient.Objective: To assess whether HyFoSy is a less painful procedure for tubal patency and highly time efficient compared to HSG. Methods:a) Design: A single-center, prospective, interventional clinical study. b) Study setting: Reproductive
