What are the precautions for tubal irrigation?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I currently have some gynecological inflammation and am worried it might affect having children. I want to get a fallopian tube patency test done. Is there anything I need to pay attention to for this test?

Doctor's answer:

Precautions for pregnancy after tubal irrigation: Tubal irrigation generally does not cause significant discomfort to the patient. Surveys have shown that even if a woman becomes pregnant immediately after undergoing tubal irrigation, it does not increase the rate of fetal malformations or miscarriages. Therefore, pregnancy after tubal irrigation is not a major concern. Of course, from the perspective of eugenics and safety, to ensure absolute safety, the medical community still advocates that women should wait at least three months after undergoing tubal irrigation before becoming pregnant. Thus, women who have undergone tubal irrigation and are not in urgent need of a child should ideally wait three months after the procedure before attempting to conceive.
