Patient's question:
Please ask when is the most appropriate day after the menstrual period to perform tubal hydrotubation. Additionally, if there has been sexual intercourse, can this examination absolutely not be done? What are the consequences of undergoing tubal hydrotubation after sexual intercourse? Please advise.(I really want a baby, so I want to get the examination done as soon as possible) I haven’t used any contraception for three months, but I haven’t gotten pregnant yet.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, tubal hydrotubation can only be performed 3-7 days after menstruation, and sexual activity is prohibited for 3 days. Tubal hydrotubation cannot accurately reflect the condition of the fallopian tubes and is no longer used as a clinical diagnostic method for fallopian tubes. It cannot determine the location and degree of blockage; it also cannot assess pelvic conditions, and it may produce false positives, such as fimbrial hydrops or tubal fistula, which cannot be detected.You need to identify the underlying cause and then treat it accordingly. It is recommended that you seek a formal and professional infertility hospital for a detailed examination to clarify the diagnosis and receive targeted treatment. Do not miss the best time for treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
