Preparation for a gynecological X-ray depends on the type of X-ray being performed. Here are some general guidelines:
- Inform Your Doctor: Always inform your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or have any allergies, especially to iodine or contrast materials used in some X-ray procedures like HSG. - Follow Instructions: You may be asked to wear a hospital gown and remove any metallic objects, such as jewelry, that could interfere with the X-ray images. - Empty Your Bladder: For certain procedures, you may be instructed to empty your bladder before the X-ray.
