HSG stands for hysterosalpino gram - this is a special type of X-ray based test to look for any tubal problems.
A coloured medicine ( dye ) will be inserted thr the cervical opening ( mouth of uterus ) & then X-Ray is taken to look for spillage of dye into tummy.
Procedure can be classified as slightly uncomfortable due to associated cramping.
All the best wishes
