Who is suitable for salpingography?

If the fallopian tubes are blocked, many people will undergo hysterosalpingography, which is a commonly used surgical method in medicine. However, this method is not suitable for everyone. So what are the symptoms that can be treated with hysterosalpingography? Here we summarize the eight major indications for hysterosalpingography, hoping to be of some help to patients.

Indication 1: Infertility

Hysterosalpingography is used to understand the causes of primary or secondary infertility. It can not only determine whether the uterus and fallopian tubes have congenital malformations or pathological conditions, but also determine whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, thereby finding the cause of infertility. For some patients, hysterosalpingography can help obstructed fallopian tubes become unobstructed and lead to conception.

Indication 2: Fallopian tube recanalization

For some patients who have undergone tubal ligation and want to undergo tubal recanalization, they must first understand the condition of the uterus and fallopian tubes, and then decide whether to undergo the surgery based on the results of hysterosalpingography.

Indication 3: Deformity diagnosis

Hysterosalpingography can also be used to diagnose developmental malformations, such as uterine malformations such as bicornuate uterus, unicornuate uterus, saddle-shaped uterus, septate uterus, etc.

Indication 4: Adhesion diagnosis

Hysterosalpingography can also detect adhesions and has certain diagnostic value for diagnosing whether there are cervical adhesions, intrauterine adhesions, etc.

Indication 5: Abnormal uterine bleeding

Abnormal uterine bleeding is to find the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding, understand the condition of uterine mucosa and uterine cavity, and determine whether abnormal bleeding is caused by endometrial polyps or submucosal myoma.

Indication 6: Pelvic Inflammation

Observing the distribution of iodized oil or diatrizoate in the pelvic cavity through salpingography has certain reference value in diagnosing pelvic inflammation and the presence or absence of severe pelvic adhesions.

Indication 7: Tumor observation

Hysterosalpingography can also be used to understand the impact of uterine fibroids, adnexal tumors and other pelvic organs on the uterus and fallopian tubes.

Indication 8: Foreign body diagnosis

Hysterosalpingography can also be used to determine whether there are foreign objects in the uterine cavity, such as misplaced metal intrauterine contraceptive devices.
