Patient's question:
My husband and I have been together for nearly five years, but I have never had children, which has made the whole family very sad. Two days ago, I talked with my husband about wanting to have a thorough check-up at the hospital. The doctor recommended that I have a fallopian tube examination. Hello, what should I pay attention to when having a fallopian tube examination?Doctor's answer:
Precautions before fallopian tube angiography include choosing the best time for the examination to be between 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period. Before the examination, it is important to urinate to avoid interference with the position of the uterus during the angiography. Before the angiography, an iodine allergy test must be performed first. If the test is negative, the angiography can proceed. Otherwise, it cannot be performed. The examination does not require fasting, but it is advisable not to consume excessively greasy food to avoid adverse reactions during the procedure. Before the surgery, it is important to clean the private area and strictly avoid sexual activity one week in advance.
