Patient's question:
Hello, a friend of mine had a tubal hydrotubation on 11/21 (the result was that the tubes were open but not unobstructed) and started having a small amount of vaginal bleeding that has continued until now. Is this a normal situation? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, a small amount of vaginal bleeding after tubal irrigation is normal and not caused by infection. The fluid flows from the uterus into the fallopian tubes. If the tubes are open, the fluid enters the abdominal cavity, and mild abdominal pain after the procedure is normal. If they are not open, the abdominal pain will worsen. Keep the external genital area clean, and the bleeding will stop within 3-5 days. You can successfully get pregnant after the procedure, or you can also try using traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Examples include honeysuckle, radix scutellariae, radix glycyrrhizae, fragrant wood, licorice, angelica sinensis, ligusticum chuanxiong, paeonia lactiflora, fructus meliae, rhizoma curcumae, euryale, coix lacryma-jobi, and astragalus. Generally, treatment involves 1-3 courses.
