How long does bleeding last after a tubal irrigation procedure?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor! I had a tubal hydrotubation on the afternoon of the 6th, and the results showed that both sides are unobstructed. The doctor said that a small amount of bleeding is normal. I would like to ask how long this bleeding is considered normal? I had a little bleeding on the afternoon of the 6th, rested at home on the 7th with no bleeding, but today on the 8th, I have bleeding again while at work. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Bleeding after tubal irrigation usually lasts for 3 to 5 days. During this period, sexual activity should be avoided, and oral anti-infection medication should be taken to prevent reproductive tract infection. Continue to monitor the condition. Sometimes, vaginal discharge may contain a small amount of blood streaks, which is due to minor damage to the cervix caused by cervical clamping during the procedure. The bleeding amount is usually small and does not need to be a concern!
There are many reasons for tubal blockage, and patients need to seek timely treatment. It is recommended to go to a local hospital for treatment. Pay attention to the progression of the condition and avoid indiscriminate treatment. Additionally, focus on self-care, maintain a balanced diet, and keep the area clean. Best wishes for your recovery!
