Patient's question:
I have had tubal contrast for two weeks. I had sex with my husband but didn't use contraception. My left fallopian tube is blocked, while the right one is fine.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The right fallopian tube is good, so it can lead to pregnancy, but the left one can no longer.
What kind of help I need: I had sex two weeks after the contrast but didn't use contraception. What should I do? Will it cause any harm to me?
Doctor's answer:
If the right fallopian tube is unobstructed, it indicates normal function. If no contraceptive measures are taken during sexual activity, there is a possibility of an unintended pregnancy, but the chances of pregnancy may be reduced by about 50%. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) involves the use of X-rays, which can affect the quality of the follicles. From the perspective of optimizing reproductive health, it is advisable to wait for 3 months after the HSG before attempting pregnancy. Early pregnancy may potentially affect fetal health. In this case, it is recommended to take emergency contraception within 72 hours after sexual activity to correct the situation. For patients with fallopian tube issues, in addition to medication, it is also important to focus on self-care. For example, pay close attention to personal hygiene, avoid sexual activity during medication, and finally, it is essential for female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations.
