Women, please note that you should not have hysterosalpingography during menstruation.

If a woman wants to have a baby, she must first ensure that the fallopian tubes are unobstructed. If the fallopian tubes are blocked, fertilization cannot be completed, and there is no such thing as having a baby. Hysterosalpingography is a method to check whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed. So, in what situations is hysterosalpingography suitable?

What is a hysterosalpingogram?

Hysterosalpingography is one of the most widely used methods in clinical practice. It involves injecting contrast agents into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes through a catheter, and performing X-ray fluoroscopy and radiography to determine whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, the location of obstruction, and the size and shape of the uterine cavity based on the contrast agent's appearance in the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity. This examination is less damaging and less irritating, can make an accurate diagnosis of fallopian tube obstruction, and has a certain therapeutic effect. Compared with fallopian tube ventilation and fluid examination, angiography can not only understand the condition of the uterine cavity, but also understand whether the fallopian tube has morphological changes such as deformity, stenosis, adhesion, etc. Ventilation and fluid tests can only indicate whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed.

Indications:

1. Causes of infertility

2. Understand the morphology of the uterine cavity, determine whether there are any uterine malformations and their types, whether there are any uterine cavity adhesions, foreign bodies, etc.

3. Laparoscopic examination revealed adhesions outside the fallopian tube cavity, which further provided information about the situation inside the fallopian tube cavity.

4. For patients with a history of multiple spontaneous abortions during mid-pregnancy who are suspected of having incomplete cervical os closure, observe whether the internal cervical os is loose when not pregnant.

Contraindications:

1. Acute or subacute inflammation of the internal and external genitalia;

2. Severe systemic diseases and unable to tolerate surgery;

3. Pregnancy and menstruation;

4. Within 6 weeks after delivery, abortion or curettage.

5. People who are allergic to iodine.
