How to Prepare for a Procedure Involving Contrast Agents?
Preparation may vary depending on the specific procedure:
- HSG: You may be advised to take a pain reliever before the procedure to minimize discomfort. It is also recommended to schedule the procedure after your menstrual period but before ovulation to avoid the risk of performing the test during early pregnancy. - MRI: Generally, no special preparation is needed, but you may be asked to fast for a few hours before the scan. - Ultrasound: Minimal preparation is required, but you may need to have a full bladder for certain types of ultrasound exams.
