What are the effects of ultrasound tubal contrast on the body?

Patient's question:

I recently had an ultrasound machine installed in the theater and want to undergo a fallopian tube surgery. What are the effects of fallopian tube on the body?

Doctor's answer:

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) primarily involves this examination to determine whether there is tubal blockage or intestinal obstruction. It is not used to perform surgery based on the imaging results. In other words, tubal is an examination, not a surgical procedure. It poses minimal harm to the body. The contrast agent is injected into the fallopian tubes, and then imaging studies are conducted to visualize the results. This is a common diagnostic method in clinical practice.
