Patient's question:
Before getting married for 3 years, I had been breastfeeding without having children. Last year, I started actively trying to conceive, but after a year, I haven't gotten pregnant. I'm planning to get checked—what exactly is a fallopian tube hysterosalpingogram and how is it performed?Doctor's answer:
Hello, checking the fallopian tubes is usually done through fallopian tube contrast examination. X-ray hysterosalpingography involves injecting contrast medium into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes via a catheter, using an X-ray diagnostic instrument for fluoroscopy and radiography. Based on the appearance of the contrast medium in the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity, this examination method helps determine whether the fallopian tubes are patent, the location of blockages, and the shape of the uterine cavity. It is recommended to visit a local reputable specialized hospital within 3-7 days after menstruation for a detailed examination, symptomatic treatment, and to wish you good health!
