The VAS included a 10 cm linear scale on which 0 represents 'no pain' and 10 represents 'worst pain imaginable'. All patients will be asked to grade their perceived lower abdominal pain levels during specified stages of HSG using the VAS as explained to them. The scale will be used at different stages of the procedure: (1) before beginning the procedure; (2) after speculum application but before instrumentation; (3) after the application of the tenaculum and metal cannula and just before the injection of contrast medium; (4) at the end of uterine filling with contrast medium;
