When is the time for hysterosalpingography?

Many couples do not have children after a long time of marriage. At this time, some couples will consider whether there is a physical disease between the couple. Among them, the most likely cause of female infertility is fallopian tube disease. Many patients do not know much about this and want to know when to have a hysterosalpingography. This is very helpful.

1. It is best to do hysterosalpingography on the 3rd to 7th day after the menstruation ends, because at this time the female's endometrial environment is most suitable for examination and the test results will be more accurate. If the salpingography is performed too early, it is easy to cause infection. This is because there is a wound on the female endometrium, and iodized oil as a contrast agent used in the examination can cause infection. If it is done too late and the endometrium has proliferated and thickened, the pressure during the examination may push the thickened endometrium to the entrance of the fallopian tube and cause a misdiagnosis of blockage, affecting the results of the examination and easily causing bleeding.

2. Hysterosalpingography is a method of injecting contrast agent into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes through a catheter, using an X-ray diagnostic device to perform X-ray fluoroscopy and filming, and based on the development of the contrast agent in the fallopian tube and pelvic cavity, to understand whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed, the location of obstruction and the morphology of the uterine cavity.

There are many preparations before hysterosalpingography.

1. Find a good time for the examination before hysterosalpingography. The examination should be performed 3-7 days after the menstruation is over. Also, please note that sexual intercourse is prohibited 3 days before the operation, mainly to prevent infection.

2. Hysterosalpingography is prohibited within 6 weeks after childbirth, abortion, or curettage to avoid causing harm to women.

3. Check whether the patient can adapt to the contrast examination, such as whether he is allergic to the contrast agent, and exclude patients with diseases. What needs to be done is to exclude whether the patient can tolerate it before the fallopian tube contrast examination.

4. Before the angiography examination, a routine gynecological examination should be performed. The main things that need to be done are gynecological examination and routine examination of leucorrhea to avoid acute and chronic internal and external genital inflammation, which may affect the results and cause infection.
