Menstruation has not come after angiography

Hysterosalpingography is a common examination method, and salpingography is a common examination method used to check whether the fallopian tube is blocked and unobstructed. However, this examination may also have certain disadvantages. For example, some women experience delayed menstruation or abdominal pain after the angiography. These situations may be caused by the harm of iodine contrast agents. Learn more about why menstruation does not come after angiography?

1. Drug and environmental influences: related to the patient’s own allergy history. When doing angiography, the patient needs to undergo an iodine allergy test. If the patient is allergic to the drug, menstruation may be delayed.

2. Contrast agent stimulation: The choice of contrast agent is the reason for delayed menstruation after salpingography. During the angiography process, contrast agents will be used, which will have a certain stimulation on the ovaries, causing temporary imbalance in hormone secretion and affecting menstruation. Iodine-water fallopian tube radiography has little irritation to the uterus, and there is no need to worry about iodine allergy. Delayed menstruation rarely occurs after radiography. Many patients come directly to the hospital and request to have iodine-water fallopian tube radiography. For the sake of their health, patients must choose regular and professional hospitals when undergoing examinations to avoid accidental injuries to the body. Hysterosalpingography is a commonly used method for examining the patency of the fallopian tubes. The stimulation of hysterosalpingography on the body is closely related to whether each hospital uses iodized oil contrast medium or iodized water contrast medium.

Many times, mood can also affect the arrival of menstruation. We need to maintain a good attitude, pay attention to diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, eat light food, and eat less greasy and spicy food.

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.

side effect

1. Hysterosalpingography is a procedure in which contrast agents are injected into the uterus and fallopian tubes and monitored under the fluoroscopy of an X-ray machine. This will cause the body to absorb some of the X-rays. However, the damage caused by transient X-ray exposure is mild and reversible. When undergoing routine X-ray examinations, be sure to pay attention to protection, but there is no need to be afraid.

2. X-ray hysterosalpingography uses iodine contrast agents. 40% iodized oil has high density and good imaging effect, but it is highly irritating and causes severe abdominal pain after surgery. It sometimes causes chemical peritonitis. The examination time is long, the absorption is slow, and it is easy to cause foreign body reactions and form granulomas. If a large amount enters the vein, there is a risk of oil embolism.
