Things to note before hysterosalpingography

There are some things that women need to pay attention to before undergoing fallopian tube angiography. The following is a reminder that you must be careful not to have sexual intercourse with your spouse before undergoing fallopian tube surgery. You must also make sure of the time, which is about 2 to 7 days after your period. Hysterosalpingography is used to observe the internal structure of a woman's fallopian tubes to see if there is any blockage. It plays a vital role in auxiliary treatment of pregnancy.

Preparation for hysterosalpingography:

1. Imaging time: Choose from 3 days after the end of menstruation to before ovulation. If the menstruation is over too early, there may still be wounds in the endometrium of the uterine cavity, and the contrast agent may enter the blood organs around the uterus from the endometrial wounds, causing pulmonary embolism or squeezing the remaining endometrial debris in the uterine cavity into the pelvic cavity, artificially causing endometriosis. After ovulation, the endometrium has obviously thickened, and the thickened endometrium at the entrance of the fallopian tube may cover the blood flow to the fallopian tube opening, creating the illusion of blockage. At the same time, during the secretory period, debris from the endometrium falls off, blocking the entrance of the fallopian tube, or being squeezed into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis. It may also squeeze the fertilized egg into the fallopian tube, causing ectopic pregnancy. If you want to understand the condition of the internal cervical os, you should have angiography after ovulation.

2. No acute or subacute pelvic inflammatory disease, such as no inflammatory masses or tenderness in the adnexa on both sides and normal body temperature.

3. Avoid sexual intercourse and deep water baths 3 days before and 2 weeks after the angiography to prevent infection.

Hysterosalpingography is performed 3-7 days after the menstruation ends, without acute or subacute gynecological inflammation, and the patient should avoid bed rest for 3 days before the examination. The patient should not stay in bed for 2 weeks after surgery. No bathing in a tub is allowed within 2 weeks. A shower is allowed. Antibiotics should be taken routinely for 3 days to prevent infection.

The above are some things you need to pay attention to before hysterosalpingography, which should be helpful for you to carry out hysterosalpingography smoothly. Also, don't be too nervous during the process of hysterosalpingography. It is good to treat it with a normal mentality. When carrying out hysterosalpingography, you must pay attention to it after your menstruation is completely over.
