Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to inquire about how tubal contrast is performed? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Hysterosalpingography is a method of injecting contrast medium through the cervix to visualize the uterine and fallopian tube cavities. The contrast medium is 40% iodized oil or organic iodine preparations. These organic iodine preparations may have a certain impact on a woman's fertility. Hysterosalpingography is usually scheduled 3 to 7 days after the end of menstruation, as this is not the female's ovulation period and has minimal impact on the eggs. It also does not significantly affect the chances of pregnancy after hysterosalpingography. Due to the differences in the contrast medium used for hysterosalpingography, the time restrictions on pregnancy after the procedure may vary. Some contrast media allow women to conceive in the following month, while others may require waiting for three months to six months. The doctor will provide corresponding guidance based on the contrast medium used for the hysterosalpingography.
