Patient's question:
I have been married for over ten years without having children. The doctor recommended that I have a hysterosalpingogram. I have already had the order written and refunded the medication. I plan to have it done after my period cleans up this month. However, I am wondering if getting a hysterosalpingogram at the hospital might lead to an infection?Doctor's answer:
In regular hospitals, hysterosalpingography will not cause infection. After undergoing tubal contrast examination, it is advisable to take routine anti-inflammatory measures, pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion and staying up late, and maintain a light diet. The examination should be performed within 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period. After tubal contrast examination, there should be a three-month interval before considering pregnancy, so routine contraceptive measures must be taken during this period. For patients with tubal issues, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to focus on self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, eating less spicy and irritating foods, and undergoing regular follow-up examinations.
