Symptoms of infection after salpingography

In daily life, anything related to the body, no matter what the situation is, we need to pay attention to its prognosis. In modern clinical applications, salpingography, as a common means of checking whether the fallopian tubes are patency, has a very important prognosis, and salpingography is also one of the most widely used methods in clinical practice. So what are the symptoms of infection after salpingography? And what should people who have undergone hysterosalpingography pay more attention to in order to avoid these infections?

Hysterosalpingography: X-ray hysterosalpingography is a method of injecting contrast agent into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes through a catheter, using an X-ray diagnostic device to perform X-ray fluoroscopy and filming. Based on the development of the contrast agent in the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity, it is used to understand whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, the site of obstruction, and the morphology of the uterine cavity.

Hysterosalpingography is a minimally invasive examination. Under the operation of an experienced physician and with the use of a digital X-ray machine, it can make a correct diagnosis of fallopian tube obstruction with an accuracy rate of 98%. It also has a certain therapeutic effect and is the most commonly used examination method to understand whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, the degree of patency, and the specific location of the blockage. In many aspects, it is irreplaceable by ultrasound, CT, MRI, hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, fallopian tube endoscopy, etc.

Is salpingography painful?

Hysterosalpingography will cause some pain, but it is generally within the tolerable range. The patient may feel uncomfortable. The degree of pain will vary depending on the patient's condition. If the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, some women may not feel any pain at all. If it is not smooth, there may be varying degrees of pain. Generally speaking, there is still a certain amount of pain. If you suffer from systemic diseases and cannot tolerate the operation, you cannot undergo salpingography. If some women suffer from fallopian tube spasm due to fear of pain, painless hysterosalpingography can be used. During painless hysterosalpingography, patients can hardly feel any pain.

Side effects of salpingography

Hysterosalpingography is an examination method in which contrast agent is injected into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes through a catheter, and X-ray imaging and filming are performed using an X-ray diagnostic device. The appearance of the contrast agent in the fallopian tube and pelvic cavity is used to determine whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, the site of obstruction, and the morphology of the uterine cavity. Women usually experience the following reactions after the examination:

1. Bleeding will occur after angiography: This phenomenon is normal, mainly because the fallopian tube angiography may damage or stimulate the endometrium. If the bleeding lasts more than 7 days, go to the hospital for examination.

2. Some people may be allergic to contrast agents. During the angiography, patients may experience symptoms such as dizziness, erythema, vomiting, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, shock and convulsions. But this can be avoided by choosing the contrast agent that is right for you.

3. Lower abdominal pain, vomiting, and nausea may occur. It may be caused by several reasons, such as: pre-existing dysmenorrhea, chemical irritation of the peritoneum, spasm of the uterine cornu, etc., and is more common in those with fallopian tube obstruction.

4. Infection occurred during angiography.

In fact, the side effects of salpingography can be reduced to almost nothing under the operation of experienced doctors. Salpingography is used to understand the causes of primary or secondary infertility. It can not only understand whether the uterus and fallopian tubes have congenital malformations or

If pathological conditions exist, it can also help to understand whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, thereby finding the cause of infertility. In some cases, hysterosalpingography can help blocked fallopian tubes become unobstructed and lead to conception.
