Why do I bleed after a salpingogram?

Now there are quite a number of couples who have been married for several years and want a baby. They have been actively preparing for pregnancy but to no avail. So in the end they can only turn to science and consult a doctor to understand the situation. In this case, doctors will often perform hysterosalpingography on female friends. Although it is for physical examination, they still worry about whether it will affect the uterus. Today, let’s learn about hysterosalpingography and the common problem of bleeding after hysterosalpingography.

Hysterosalpingography refers to the process 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 understanding whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, the location of obstruction, and the morphology of the uterine cavity based on the development of the contrast agent in the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity.

Reproductive experts say that one of the side effects of hysterosalpingography is vaginal spotting after the procedure. This is a stimulation to the endometrium during the procedure, which causes vaginal bleeding. This is a normal postoperative phenomenon and has no effect on the body. No treatment is required, let alone the use of hemostatic drugs. Generally, this kind of bleeding will stop naturally within 7 days.

Experts remind female friends that if the bleeding after salpingography has not stopped for more than 7 days, women should find the cause in time and take appropriate measures according to the cause. Usually, the main causes of bleeding after salpingography are as follows:

1. Infection occurred during angiography.

2. Infection before angiography

3. Endocrine disorders and irregular menstruation.

4. Endometrial diseases.

Precautions after salpingography: pay attention to prevent infection. Therefore, please note that you should avoid bathing and sexual intercourse for two weeks after angiography. Give antibiotics as appropriate to prevent infection. If the false impression of tubal obstruction is caused by tubal spasm, repeated examination is required if necessary.

From this we can see that this examination has no effect on the body, and bleeding after hysterosalpingography can be treated symptomatically according to different situations. Female friends do not need to be particularly nervous, and it has no effect on pregnancy. On the contrary, it is helpful, because only when the doctor understands the situation in the uterus can he help you better.
