What is the difference between hydrotubation and fallopian tube angiography?

Women's reproductive health is a very important foundation and the foundation of women's overall physical health. The reproductive system is very complex, among which the fallopian tube is the core tissue, which plays a decisive role in women's fertility. There are many diseases of the fallopian tube. In medicine, hydrotubation and angiography are often used to diagnose diseases. Let's take a look at the difference between hydrotubation and angiography.

Hydrotubation generally uses normal saline to be injected into the fallopian tubes to determine the degree of patency of the fallopian tubes. It also plays a therapeutic role for those with blocked fallopian tubes. If there is a blockage in the patient, hydrotubation cannot clearly identify the site of the blockage. When a patient is suspected of having a blockage, angiography can be performed to find the site of the blockage. Hysterosalpingography generally uses iodine to be injected into the fallopian tube, and then an X-ray examination is performed to determine the patency of the fallopian tube. Generally, if you suspect that your fallopian tubes are blocked, you need to do these two tests. Hysterosalpingography should be performed within 3 to 7 days after the end of a woman's menstruation.

Hysterosalpingography can use contrast agent to clearly show the shape and patency of the fallopian tubes under X-rays. The patency of the fallopian tube is mainly judged by the feel and the amount of fluid inflow. The operation procedures of hydrotubation and fallopian tube angiography are basically the same. The main differences between them lie in the liquid used and the method of observation.

Fallopian tube hydrotubation, also known as tubal hydrotubation, is one of the rough examination methods for the patency of the fallopian tube. It can be roughly estimated, but it cannot be relied upon. The angiography method is to continuously inject contrast agent into the uterus, dynamically observe the uterine fallopian tube and pelvic images, and make an accurate diagnosis.
