Patient's question:
My fallopian tubes are blocked. I want to go to the hospital for a contrast examination. What are the contrast agents for fallopian tube imaging?Doctor's answer:
The contrast agent for fallopian tube imaging is divided into two types: iodine oil contrast and iodine water contrast. Currently, iodine water contrast is more commonly used because the traditional iodine oil contrast technique has slow metabolism, is prone to causing fallopian tube adhesion, and requires contraception for 3 months post-surgery. Iodine water contrast is a meltable contrast agent that does not damage the fallopian tubes and does not affect normal pregnancy in the second month. If there is mild partial adhesion of the fallopian tubes, it can be cleared at the time, and it may be possible to conceive the following month after a thorough examination.
