What is post-contrast bleeding?

We all know that with the continuous progress of medical care, there are many ways to conduct very good examinations of the body when we have diseases. Among them, angiography is a very effective examination method for infertility. For example, examination of the uterus and fallopian tubes can well detect the cause of infertility. However, many people often have bleeding symptoms after the angiography examination, which often makes people particularly worried, fearing that the angiography will cause harm to the body. In fact, this is also a normal phenomenon. Let’s understand what to do if there is bleeding after angiography?

What is post-contrast bleeding?

Although hysterosalpingography causes little harm to women, it is actually an external stimulus to the endometrium of women, which can cause vaginal bleeding in women. Vaginal bleeding is a normal phenomenon after hysterosalpingography. It will usually disappear on its own within 7 days and will not cause any harm to the female body.

Bleeding after hysterosalpingography is not an abnormal condition. It usually stops automatically in about 3 to 7 days. When faced with such a phenomenon, patients generally do not need to take any treatment measures, let alone take hemostatic drugs, because this is a normal phenomenon. If it exceeds 7 days, the following situations may occur: infection during angiography, serious endocrine disorder. In this case, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time.

Postoperative precautions

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.

5. Take Chinese medicine for conditioning, pay more attention to hygiene and avoid inflammation and infection.

The above is an introduction to what to do if bleeding occurs after angiography. After understanding it, we know that such symptoms will generally subside on their own within a week. If such phenomena still occur, you must consult a doctor for treatment in time. In addition, you must pay special attention to your body's recovery after angiography and be sure to rest more. Especially for fallopian tube angiography, try not to have sex within a week.
