What precautions should be taken when examining tubal blockage?

Patient's question:

Hello: What are the things to pay attention to when checking for fallopian tube blockage? I want to get a check to see if I have a blocked fallopian tube, but I don't know what to pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

1. A normal ovulation test result means that an egg has been released from the ovary.
2. A positive ovulation test result does not prove that the fallopian tubes are open; further tests are needed.
3. Fallopian tube examinations are usually performed 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends.
4. Avoid sexual intercourse for 1-2 weeks after the fallopian tube examination to prevent infection.
5. Contrast media typically used include iodine oil and iodine water. Before the test, an iodine allergy test can be done at a regular hospital.
6. Other relevant tests should be completed before the examination to check for inflammation. During the test, you will need to urinate and undergo a cleansing enema. It is recommended to fast before the examination.
