As an xray tech, i run the fluoroscopy machine while the doctor performs these exams. Women do complain that it is uncomfortable, but its more of a pinching. The doctor inserts the speculum device and then will inject dye via a catheter that will fill the cervix and the fallopian tubes. If you had a blockage in one of the tubes, sometimes the force of the dye can clear the blockage, enabling you to ovulate and be fertile. Basically, the doctor needs to see the tubes filled and the uterus filled with the dye to diagnose and shape/formation issues, tilts, or blockages.
you're actually not given any anesthetic in the previous, yet maximum physicians recommend taking ibuprofen previous to the proceedure. as quickly as I had mine I had an old-college checklist and he used a clamp on my cervix as a substitute of a foley catheter...it particularly became uncomfortable, yet maximum medical doctors use the different technique. stable success!
