Which one is more painful, hydrotubation or angiography?

Women's physical health is very vulnerable to damage, especially the female reproductive system is very easily affected, which brings great damage to women's lives. For example, women's fallopian tubes are one of the organs most prone to problems, and they are not easy to detect. They require advanced diagnostic technology to treat. Among them, hydrotubation and angiography are more commonly used techniques. Let's take a look at which one is more painful, hydrotubation or angiography?

Relatively speaking, salpingography is more painful. This is due to hydrotubation, which involves injecting medicine into the uterine cavity through a catheter. The doctor will judge whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed based on the resistance of the injection and whether there is any reflux of medicine. This operation is relatively simple. The iodized oil fallopian tube angiography is to inject a contrast agent into the fallopian tube cavity. The process is the same as hydrosalpinx, but at the same time, an X-ray examination is also performed to see whether there is any contrast agent diffused in the fallopian tube and whether such contrast agent has diffused in the pelvic cavity, so as to determine whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed. Since the angiography time is longer than the water infusion time, it will be relatively more painful.

Both hydrosalpingography and hysterosalpingography can determine the patency of the fallopian tubes. Regardless of whether you choose hydrosalpingography or hysterosalpingography, it is recommended to do this examination 3 to 7 days after the menstruation is over. If a woman usually has severe gynecological inflammation, it is recommended to do hysterosalpingography for more accuracy. Hysterosalpingography can determine whether the fallopian tubes are blocked and the location of the blockage. After doing hysterosalpingography, you must pay attention to rest and avoid sexual intercourse within two weeks.

Hydrotubation cannot determine whether the fallopian tubes are blocked, the location and degree of the blockage, or whether hydrosalpinx is present. It cannot determine whether there is pelvic adhesion. If inflammation exists, hydrotubation may cause hydrosalpinx. Currently, simple hydrotubation examination has long been abolished by the World Health Organization, but some hospitals are still doing it because they do not have angiography examinations.
