Is it safe to flush the fallopian tubes with water?

Patient's question:

Last month, I had a thorough examination at the hospital and found that my fallopian tubes were blocked. I just finished a surgery to unblock my fallopian tubes this week. After the surgery, I went home and took a bath, and also washed my vagina with water. I want to understand if there could be any issues after the fallopian tube unblocking surgery and washing my vagina with water at home.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, after a thorough examination of the fallopian tubes, it is advisable to clean the external genital area. This does not affect complete recovery. It is recommended to avoid sexual activity within 2 weeks. Check after 1 week to see if there is any bleeding or abdominal pain, while also paying attention to safety. It is suggested to clean the external genital area, as vaginal cleaning is generally not recommended. Therefore, it is important to ensure safety and also check the results for patency. The above information can be used as a reference.
