How long can I have sex after hysterosalpingography?

If the uterus and fallopian tubes are blocked, it means that it is very difficult to have children. Therefore, many women with blocked uterus and fallopian tubes want to know how long they can have sex after the uterus and fallopian tube unblocking surgery in order to get their fallopian tubes unblocked and conceive as soon as possible. In order for you to understand as soon as possible, please read the introduction below.

The fallopian tube is insulated by injecting methylene blue solution or saline into the uterine cavity through the cervix. Then it flows into the fallopian tube from the uterine cavity. The resistance when the medicine is injected and the reflux of the liquid are used to determine whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed. Through a certain pressure of the liquid, the obstructed fallopian tube is restored to patency. Fallopian tube insufflation is suitable for various primary or secondary infertility; after infertility surgery, it can prevent adhesion formation and measure the effect of surgery; it can clear mild adhesions of the fallopian tube; therapeutic insufflation: start 3 to 7 days after menstruation, 6 times as a course of treatment, one course of treatment per month.

Steps of fallopian tube insufflation surgery:

(1) Empty the bladder, assume lithotomy position, disinfect the vulva and vagina, and lay a sterile surgical towel. (2) Bimanual examination is used to understand the size, position, texture, mobility, shape of the uterus and its relationship to surrounding organs, as well as any abnormalities of the bilateral appendages.

(3) Place the speculum, expose the cervix, disinfect the vagina and cervix, clamp the anterior lip of the cervix with a cervical clamp, and pull it outward to make the uterus horizontal.

(4) Use a uterine probe to gently probe the uterine fundus along the direction of the uterus, measure its depth and confirm its curvature and size.

(5) Check that the liquid flow device is intact and leak-free.

(6) Insert the uterine catheter into the cervical canal in the direction of the probe detection and fix it at the pre-selected depth. Clamp the anterior lip of the cervix with a tissue forceps to pull the cervix outward, while pushing the conical head of the catheter inward so that the two fit tightly together. Use a syringe filled with 20 ml of solution to slowly inject the liquid. If 20 ml of liquid is injected smoothly without resistance, there is no leakage outside the cervix, and the patient has no obvious discomfort, it means that the fallopian tube is unobstructed.

(7) If resistance is encountered, a little pressure is applied. The patient will have a little abdominal discomfort and the injection can be successfully completed. There is no leakage from the external cervical os, indicating that the original adhesions have been separated or the spasm has been relieved.

(8) When the fluid is flowing, the sound of fluid coming out from the fimbria of the fallopian tube can be heard by listening with a stethoscope on both sides of the lower abdomen.

(9) When you feel great resistance, fluid overflows from the external cervical opening, and your abdomen becomes bloated and unbearable, it is usually because the fallopian tubes are completely blocked.

Points to note during fallopian tube insufflation:

1) Fluid insufflation should not be performed when menstruation has just ended or when there is still bloody secretion in the uterine cavity.

(2) The total amount of liquid should not exceed 20ml.

(3) Methylene blue can be added to the liquid.

(4) The connection between the external cervical os needs to be tightened to prevent leakage.

How long can you wait before you can have sex after the fallopian tube insufflation? Sexual intercourse is prohibited within 2 weeks after the insufflation to prevent infection. Anti-infection drugs should be taken after surgery. Abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding may occur after the operation, which usually disappear within 3-7 days. If bleeding persists for more than 10 days, you should see a doctor.

After the hysterosalpingography surgery, generally speaking, you should not have sex within two weeks. Therefore, many women who have undergone hysterosalpingography must understand this knowledge, and then carry out targeted and effective dredging of the fallopian tubes so that they can become pregnant successfully as soon as possible and have their own baby as soon as possible.
