What precautions should be taken when examining tubal blockage?

Patient's question:

Hello: What are the things to pay attention to when checking for fallopian tube blockage? I want to get checked to see if I have a blocked fallopian tube, but I don't know what to pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

1. A normal result on the ovulation test indicates that an egg has been released from the ovary.
2. A positive test result showing egg release does not prove that the fallopian tubes are unobstructed; further tests are required.
3. Fallopian tube examinations are typically performed 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends.
4. Avoid sexual intercourse for 1-2 weeks after the fallopian tube examination to prevent infection.
5. Contrast media generally include iodine oil and iodine water. Before the examination, an iodine allergy test can be conducted at a formal hospital.
6. Complete other relevant tests before the examination to check for inflammation. During the examination, it is necessary to urinate and undergo a cleansing enema. It is recommended to fast before the test.
