What should I pay attention to before and after endotracheal angiography?

Hysterosalpingography is a test method used to check whether a woman's fallopian tubes are open. It has been widely used in clinical practice. So what are the things we must know in advance before doing hysterosalpingography? What should we pay attention to before and after hysterosalpingography? Today, the editor will bring you what to pay attention to before and after hysterosalpingography, preoperative preparation, and postoperative precautions. Let's take a look!

1. Preparation before salpingography:

The best time for contrast imaging is within 3 to 7 days after the menstruation ends; explain the precautions and possible complications to the patient in as much detail as possible, relieve the patient's tension, and ask the patient to sign the consent form for the operation; those with constipation should take laxatives the night before contrast imaging, or have a cleansing enema 2 hours before contrast imaging to clear the intestinal contents and make the film clear; urinate before contrast imaging to avoid affecting the position of the uterus; do an iodine allergy test before contrast imaging, and only perform contrast imaging if there is no allergy.

2. Precautions after salpingography:

1. Do not take a bath or have sexual intercourse for two weeks after angiography. Antibiotics may be given as appropriate to prevent infection.

2. Sometimes tubal spasm may cause the illusion of tubal obstruction. Repeat if necessary.

3. A small amount of vaginal bleeding within one week after the angiography is normal if there is no other discomfort. If the amount of bleeding is more than the menstrual volume or if there are other discomforts, you should contact your doctor.

4. It is best to practice contraception for three months after the angiography to reduce the possible effects of X-ray exposure. However, clinical observations have found that women who become pregnant in the same month after angiography do not have an increased risk of fetal abnormalities.

After reading the editor’s introduction, I believe that all female friends must have a better understanding of salpingography, and also have different degrees of understanding about the preoperative preparation and postoperative precautions of salpingography. Keep a calm mind and sincerely wish the patients a speedy recovery and a beautiful and happy life.
