How long does it take to get pregnant after iohexol angiography

Iohexol radiography is widely used in gynecology, mainly to check whether there are changes in the bilateral fallopian tubes, such as whether there is a problem of fallopian tube blockage. This type of examination requires the use of radiation, which will cause some harm to the body, so some friends are worried that undergoing this type of examination will affect pregnancy. So, how long does it take to get pregnant after the iohexol contrast test?

1. Iohexol radiography is to introduce contrast agent into the patient's uterine cavity or bilateral fallopian tubes, and then use direct X-ray to examine the symptoms, mainly to check whether the bilateral fallopian tubes are blocked. During the inspection process, if an X-ray machine is used for fluoroscopy, the body will suffer some irreversible damage when exposed to direct X-rays. Therefore, you cannot get pregnant immediately after taking this kind of test.

2. The contrast agent used in iohexol contrast examination is iohexol. Many ingredients themselves have no side effects on the human body, but when using this kind of ingredient for contrast examination, some of the contrast agent will remain in the patient's body. It is a relatively slow process for this contrast agent to be absorbed and excreted by the human body. This process generally takes more than three months. Therefore, you cannot get pregnant immediately after the examination. It is generally believed that after undergoing this type of examination, you need to rest for at least three months. Most doctors will advise patients to wait for half a year after the examination before getting pregnant. The purpose of doing so is to prevent some of the contrast agent from not being completely absorbed and excreted by the body and affecting the health of the fetus. In addition, the damage caused by X-rays to the body also takes a certain amount of time to completely repair, so all in all, it takes at least three months of physical recovery after such examinations before you can get pregnant.

This is a brief introduction to the topic of how long it takes to get pregnant after iohexol contrast examination. I hope that through today's introduction, more friends will understand the relationship between iohexol contrast examination and pregnancy. Iohexol radiography is already a very mature examination technology, and patients can completely rule out diseases in the uterine cavity or bilateral fallopian tubes through this examination. Moreover, this type of examination will not have a negative impact on the patient's reproductive function.
