Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Can you please tell me if tubal hydrotubation can cause delayed menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Hysterosalpingography generally does not significantly affect ovarian function, so it should not impact your menstrual cycle. It's worth checking if you might be pregnant. I recommend getting a blood test done at the hospital to rule out pregnancy as the cause of your delayed period. Avoid sexual activity for 5 days. Even if your period has ended, wait for 3 to 5 more days before resuming. This helps prevent infection, as your cervix remains open during menstruation and typically closes about 5 days after it ends. Pay extra attention during this period.
