Brief summary
Different techniques have been developed to optimize hysterosalpingography (HSG) methodology. Our aim is to compare the advantages and disadvantages of these three different techniques in terms of both patient satisfaction and clinician's interpretation. The medical records of the patients who are treated in our hospital between 2020 and 2022 are investigated based on the eligibility criteria.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Patient Satisfaction | Day 1 | Patients' visual analogue scores (VAS) immediately after the procedure and 30 minutes post-procedure are recorded, respectively. The pain is assessed by the principal investigator. The visual analog scale for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain and the other end meaning the worst pain imaginable. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The VAS consists of a 10 cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be'). |
| Clinician's Interpretation | Day 1 | The interpretation is classified as "clearly evaluated", "partially evaluated" and as "could not be evaluated" by the clinician. |
