When is the best time to check the fallopian tubes?

If the fallopian tubes are suspected to be blocked, you should go to a regular hospital for examination in time. When preparing for a fallopian tube examination, there are many things to pay attention to, such as refraining from sexual intercourse for three days before the examination and refraining from sexual intercourse for two weeks after the examination.

The best time for female friends to have a fallopian tube examination is 3-7 days after the menstruation is over. If the examination is done too early, it can easily cause infection and cause wounds on the female's endometrium. The contrast agent used in fallopian tube angiography can cause infection. However, if it is too late, the endometrium will proliferate and thicken, and the pressure during the examination will push the thickened endometrium to the entrance of the fallopian tube and cause blockage, which may lead to misdiagnosis. This will not only affect the results of the examination, but also cause bleeding.

Other considerations

1. Pay attention to the aseptic operation principles during the examination to prevent nosocomial infection. The body temperature on the day of examination should be below 37.5℃.

2. During the fallopian tube examination, female patients should abstain from sexual intercourse for 3 days. After the fallopian tube examination, they need to abstain from sexual intercourse for 2 weeks to prevent sexual intercourse from affecting the examination and causing pain and bleeding in women. If a female patient chooses iodized oil fallopian tube angiography, she must first undergo an iodine allergy test and must not conceal her history of iodine allergy from the doctor.

3. Before checking for fallopian tube infertility, it is necessary to confirm that there is no active inflammation in the reproductive tract, including negative detection of pathogenic microorganisms in the vagina and cervix. If there is inflammation, check again after a few months after recovery. For those with a history of inflammation, appropriate medication should be used to prevent and treat infection to prevent the onset and spread of inflammation. Sexual intercourse and bathing are prohibited during the examination period.
