When going to your hysterosalpingogram (HSG) appointment, it is recommended to bring the following items:
Your insurance card and identification: Make sure to bring your insurance card and a valid photo identification with you to the appointment.Â
Referral and authorization forms: If your healthcare provider has given you a referral or authorization for the HSG, make sure to bring the necessary paperwork with you to the appointment.
Comfortable clothing: You may want to wear comfortable clothing that is easy to change in and out of, as you will be asked to change into a hospital gown for the procedure.
Sanitary pads: You may experience some light bleeding or spotting after the HSG, so it is recommended to bring some sanitary pads with you to the appointment. Wearing a pad for the rest of the day will help protect your clothing.
Pain relievers: You may experience some cramping or discomfort during or after the HSG, so it may be helpful to bring some over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, with you to the appointment.
