When is it best to have tubal irrigation?

Patient's question:

Expert, I would like to ask what time would be best for me to have tubal irrigation. I only had a very small amount of menstruation yesterday, the 27th, and today as well. The last time I went to the hospital, I waited until 6 days after my period ended, but the doctor told me I came too late and advised me to go 3 days after my period ended. I was planning to have the irrigation done on the 29th, and I was wondering if that would be okay. I only have time tomorrow to make the appointment, otherwise, I won’t have time until Friday afternoon. Expert, should I go tomorrow or wait until Friday afternoon?
First follow-up question: Expert, can I go tomorrow, or should I wait until...

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the best time for tubal patency test is 3 to 7 days after menstruation. You should not have sexual intercourse before the test, and it is necessary to complete the preoperative examinations. The requirement is to have the test within one week after menstruation is completely clean, without sexual intercourse. After the surgery, sexual life needs to be prohibited for two weeks. This is because the fluid infusion procedure may cause local trauma, which is prone to infection. Currently, the most common examination is tubal contrast examination, which can more clearly reflect the specific location, so that the best treatment method can be selected.
