Precautions after hysterosalpingography

Hysterosalpingography is currently the best way to check fallopian tube diseases. This angiography is completed under full computer monitoring. By observing the shape of the contrast agent filling the cervix, uterus and bilateral fallopian tubes, it is possible to record whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed and where the fallopian tubes are blocked. This examination can greatly reduce the occurrence of infertility.

1. Preparation before salpingography:

1. Before doing hysterosalpingography, you should first check whether there is any inflammation in the reproductive tract, such as vaginitis, cervicitis, etc. If there is gynecological inflammation, it should be treated first, and then hysterosalpingography can be performed after the inflammation is controlled. Sexual intercourse and bathing are prohibited during the period.

2. Adjust the time for hysterosalpingography. It should be done 3-7 days after the menstruation is over. If the examination is done too early, the endometrium has not yet been completely repaired, and the gas or oil during the examination may enter the blood sinusoids and form embolism. It may also push the remaining menstrual blood in the uterine cavity into the fallopian tube and then fall into the abdominal cavity, causing infection or endometriosis. like

If the examination is performed near the ovulation period, the endometrium is thickened, which can easily cause pseudo-obstruction of the internal opening of the fallopian tube; at the same time, catheter-type instruments inserted into the uterine cavity can scratch the endometrium, which can easily cause uterine bleeding during and after the operation. to 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 contrast examination 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.
