Patient's question:
I recently found that I have fallopian tube blockage. The doctor suggested that I adjust the treatment time as soon as possible. Previously, both my husband and I were very attentive to hygiene, and we paid close attention to personal hygiene, without any signs of discomfort. What are the methods for a thorough examination of fallopian tube blockage?Doctor's answer:
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is an X-ray examination of the uterus and fallopian tubes using iohexol as the contrast agent. HSG is a method to check whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, blocked, or if the uterine cavity has any abnormalities. It involves injecting an anesthetic contrast agent, iohexol, into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes through a catheter, or using X-ray scanning and photography for diagnosis. The instrument was developed based on the expansion of the contrast agent in the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity. It has a wide range of applications, good safety, no side effects, and certain therapeutic effects. It can be performed 3-7 days after menstruation.
