Patient's question:
After an ectopic pregnancy, it is necessary to have a tubal patency test. I would like to know what the difference is between tubal contrast and tubal patency test.Doctor's answer:
Hysterosalpingography and tubal catheterization have the same surgical operation, but the drugs used are different. Tubal catheterization is generally performed using anti-inflammatory drugs to check if the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, but it cannot determine which side is unobstructed. Tubal catheterization can confirm which side of the fallopian tube is unobstructed. Patients should face the risk of ectopic pregnancy and should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment. Avoid delaying medical consultation. If ectopic pregnancy is not cured after treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
