How long is normal bleeding after angiography?

Women's endocrine imbalance due to life stress, stress and other factors can lead to a variety of diseases. Gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids, endometritis, fallopian tube obstruction and menstrual disorders require regular check-ups. Most women today do not know much about angiography, and they think that angiography is as painful as gastroscopy, and that bleeding may occur after the angiography examination.

How long does it take for bleeding after angiography to be considered normal?

Bleeding may occur after angiography, and it is normal for the bleeding to stop within 5-7 days. Bleeding often occurs. The key is that a catheter will be inserted into the cervical opening during the contrast examination, and then the contrast agent can be introduced. When the catheter is inserted, it will cause damage to the cervical mucosa, so bleeding will occur.

It is recommended to keep the vulva clean after the contrast examination, and pay attention to bathing within ten days to prevent the damaged mucosa from being infected by bacteria and causing inflammatory reactions in the cervix. It is also recommended that you go to the hospital for observation for an hour after the angiography examination, and leave the hospital if you do not feel uncomfortable. In addition, you should not have sex for one month after the angiography and take contraceptive measures for three months.

The best time to do angiography

The best time to do angiography is on the 3rd to 7th day after the menstrual period is over, because the environment of the female's uterine wall is most suitable for examination at this time, and the test results will be more accurate. If bilateral salpingography is performed too early, it is easy to cause infection. This is because there is a wound on the female uterine wall, and iodized oil as a contrast agent used in the examination can cause infection. If it is too late, the endometrium may be hyperplastic or thickened, and the pressure during the examination may lead the thickened uterine wall to the fallopian tubes, causing misdiagnosis of obstruction, affecting the effect of the examination, and may also cause bleeding.

Common problems after angiography

1. Prevent Infection

Within 2 weeks after the angiography, the patient should avoid taking a sitz bath and having sex to prevent intrauterine infection; the patient should pay attention to the hygiene of the genitals, wash with a handkerchief after going to the toilet (after defecation, you should wipe backwards to prevent cross-infection), and wash with tap water after defecation when necessary; wash the private parts with warm water once before going to bed every night, and use anti-inflammatory and disinfectant solution under the guidance of a doctor when necessary; to effectively prevent infection, patients can take Chinese medicine under the guidance of a specialist.

2. Diet and medical care

After the examination, the patient should eat more fruits and vegetables, and effectively match lean meat, beans, dairy products, eggs and other foods to ensure a balanced diet; the patient should also drink more water (warm water is best) to increase the frequency of urination, thereby promoting the excretion of contrast agent.

3. Other aspects

Vaginal bleeding may occur within one week after the examination, which is a normal phenomenon, so the patient does not need to worry; when the bleeding is heavy and exceeds the menstrual volume, or there are blood clots, debris and other tissues in the blood, the patient should go to the hospital for examination in time to take certain effective measures to deal with it.
