Will tubal irrigation have side effects?

Patient's question:

Will tubal irrigation have side effects? I suspect I have inflammation in my fallopian tubes, can I do it? Will this cause any inflammation? Can you explain how it's performed? Through the vagina? Is it painful?

Doctor's answer:

Hysterosalpingography is a method for treating and examining tubal patency. It is usually performed 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends. One week before the procedure, sexual activity is prohibited. The specific method involves injecting physiological saline through the cervix into the uterine cavity, allowing it to flow into the fallopian tubes. Based on the resistance encountered during the injection and the reflux of the liquid, it is determined whether the fallopian tubes are patent. The pressure exerted by the liquid helps restore patency to obstructed fallopian tubes.
