Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we don't have any children. I'm also very anxious about it, not knowing if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm very scared that my condition might worsen. Before undergoing fallopian tube, what detailed examinations are necessary?Doctor's answer:
Considering the situation you mentioned, it is necessary to have a decision on oral administration of 10% potassium iodide before fallopian tube contrast. Carefully observe for any allergic reactions, perform skin scratch tests, and intradermal tests. Before each fallopian tube contrast, an iodine allergy test must be conducted. It is essential to inquire thoroughly about the history of iodine allergies, and individuals with iodine allergy symptoms are prohibited from undergoing iodine contrast procedures.It is recommended that you undergo contrast imaging within 7 days after your menstrual period is completely clean, avoiding sexual activity during the examination. Before the contrast, a detailed check for inflammation should be performed. If there is no inflammation, the examination can proceed. In addition to symptomatic treatment for gynecological diseases, patients should also pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
