Hysterosalpingography cannulation pictures

Contrast examination requires the introduction of a flexible tube into the uterine cavity. Then, iodized oil contrast agent is introduced into the guide tube, and the developing solution is added under X-ray to observe the diffusion degree of the iodized oil contrast agent. Angiography is a common examination method in clinical medicine to check whether the bilateral fallopian tubes are smooth. The best time to check is within 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period. Before the check, you need to do relevant blood tests and secretion tests. So, is it painful to insert the catheter?

Is it painful to have angiography catheter inserted?

X-ray fluoroscopy is a method of examining whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed by introducing contrast agent into the uterine cavity and the fallopian tubes through a tube and using an X-ray machine to perform X-ray fluoroscopy and film. When doing angiography, there will be a certain degree of pain. The degree of pain will vary according to the patient's condition. If both fallopian tubes are smooth, some patients may not feel any pain. If they are not smooth, there may be varying degrees of pain.

Whether the pain is obvious is mainly related to the following factors:

1. Uterine factors: The patient may have uterine diseases, such as uterine fibroids, congenitally small uterus, uterine cavity adhesions, or tight cervical opening and excessive uterine curvature, which increase the difficulty of catheterization and cause greater pain.

2. The doctor's understanding: Pain is a fundamental factor in contrast examination. Contrast examination is a professional examination of the smoothness of bilateral fallopian tubes. It will be less painful if it is performed by a skilled and experienced doctor.

3. Whether the patient cooperates: Some patients do not cooperate with the doctor and are relatively shy, which seriously affects the doctor's operation. A slow speed will aggravate the pain. However, it is within an acceptable range. Angiography is a minimally invasive surgery and is generally acceptable. There is usually some discomfort after angiography, which will gradually ease after half an hour. The pain symptoms can be relieved spontaneously with proper rest after the operation. It is recommended that patients leave the hospital after one hour of observation after the operation. Vaginal bleeding will occur within three or two days after angiography, and there will be some abdominal discomfort, but it usually does not exceed a week.

It can be seen that the pain of angiography is acceptable and there is no need to be too afraid. If there are problems in these areas that require regular examination and treatment, you must choose the time for regular examination and treatment appropriately, and choose a treatment method that is both reasonable and economical, while minimizing the patient's pain.
