my second experience was terrible
tatacherie:
They say HSG is just a ‘simple test’… but my second one almost broke me

My HSG experience a few weeks ago left me pondering the future of public health care services in Naija.

God forbid that I be a victim of a failed system

I’ve had 3 HSG procedures so far. 2 successful and 1 unsuccessful

For those who don’t know, an HSG (hysterosalpingography) is an X-ray test where dye is passed into the womb and fallopian tubes to check if they are open and healthy.

I am moved to share because someone can learn from my story.

Although people react differently to pain—what is bearable for some may be unbearable for others
But this my 2nd experience was pure trauma.

The first time was bearable. The radiologist was calm, confident, and gentle. The discomfort was bearable, and I left thinking, “Okay, that wasn’t so bad.” I even conceived that very month.

The second time… Omo! Very traumatic. I arrived early, wanting to be among the first, I nor know say Oba dey front dey wait

The moment I saw the radiographer, my instincts told me to be alert. He looked so young, wasn’t really communicating but I didn’t want to judge a book by its cover.

I asked more questions before signing the consent form because I nor fit go school far like this only to entrust my life in a young Dr's hands whose body language is giving -ve

....

Fast forward to the procedure.

Everything was ready. I took deep breaths and remained calm

The next thing I felt was sharp waves of pain that shoot through me

I screamed!
Like my insides were being tugged and twisted.

My body that was relaxed immediately became stiff, my body started shivering
I grabbed one of the students watching to learn and held him tightly.

The other students were watching and asking questions.

I almost screamed the roof down. No exaggerations
"I'm no longer interested Dr!"

"Please let down the instruments so I can come down"

I insisted and kept screaming

Meanwhile he was on a call with another Dr with one hand, I guess a senior consultant explaining that he is having difficulty cunnulating the cervix and that the place is somehow blocked by adhesions

Me ke? Lab rat today for students to learn? oh no God help me

I was at their mercy because procedures like HSG is not something you can just jump down from the bed and run

He kept struggling to fix the instruments while I kept screaming he should stop
At a point a nurse present even asked why he was injecting the dye when the instrument hadn't properly gone in.

After much plea

He admitted he couldn't do it then removed the instruments.
He explained that I need to quickly get to the emergency gynea unit so that the Dr's there can help with the cannulation then I come back to meet him to inject the dye.

Me?
Go where Oga?
God forbid!!!

I Sha collected the emergency letter, wore my clothes and limped out of the facility without looking back

Truth is, my first experience was very bearable, I braced myself for the worst, but the radiologist was calm, confident, and gentle.

The discomfort was there, of course, but it was controlled. I left the room thinking, “Okay, that wasn’t so bad after all.” I conceived that very month.
It was bearable

I called the same private diagnostic center that was recommended to me 10 years ago to confirm if the Prof. that carried out the procedure on me the first time was still actively working.

He was so I got booked for another day since I was already traumatized and in pains.

That was how I got myself into the procedure room for the third time, I went in calm, trusting God and my first experience but a part of me was still dreading a repeat of that second experience.

This time, the radiologist’s expertise made all the difference. The Prof took time to re explain every step as he progressed.

Every movement was steady. Yes, there was pain, but it was bearable.

According to him "This is positive pain" because he was able to carefully break through the cervical/uterine adhesions that were obstructing the Dr earlier.

I could breathe through it, as he was careful and kept communicating with me to speak whenever I felt unbearable pain.

What I’ve learned?

This same procedure can feel like mild discomfort for some and like a nightmare for others

However, so much depends on who is handling it and how our bodies react.

Ask questions and seek recommendation of experienced radiographers. Then trust your instincts.

I’m sharing this because many women go through these tests silently. If you’ve ever had an HSG, you’ll understand how different each experience can be depending on the hands you find yourself in.

Sending strength to anyone preparing for or recovering from one

Noticed how you deliberately avoided telling the op about your fibroid and how you removed it? Instead you started attacking my comments.

Madam tell the op how you removed your fibroid
is it not hospital they remove fibroids or you know somewhere else.

i had fibroid and removed it, i have a child now. please rest
G0odharddick:
U knew what fibroid is and yet couldn't advise him? You're busy reading every comment!
Tell him hw you overcame yours nau.

It is by God's intervention you miraculously had a child that's if it's even true you had it .

Fibroid grows in the place where the child is supposed to be. This is why as soon as the baby comes in , the fibroid k!lls it.

My suggestion is simple. He should get a second wife and procreate in peace

G0odharddick:
Fibroid?

Dude why didn't you do medical scan before you married her?

Oga don't waste your time jumping from one herbal centre to the other. Just get yourself a second wife and have children in peace. Besides you're the only son and generations is expected to come out from you
do you even know what fibroid is, it’s not cancer o. I once had it and I have my child now
