From most of the experiences I have heard about it really varies. If there are problems then it is painful. Mostly it just feels like intense cramping. What they did for me was have me lie down with just a sheet on an X-ray table. It was just me and RE in the room, with an X-ray tech in another booth (where he couldn't see any of the details thank goodness!). RE put a speculum in, then the catheter and the dye. Then he checked the screen and told the tech to take some pictures. He said I might need to move from side to side, but I didn't have to. It was pretty quick. I did have some pretty bad pain, but I also took nothing beforehand and I'm a weanie. It went quick and the pain did too. I was up and moving in about 5 minutes.
Tell her not to be too nervous, that will just make it more painful.
