Patient's question:
Hello, when is the best time for a doctor to examine the fallopian tubes? I haven't been able to get pregnant with a healthy and lovely baby after getting married. What should I do? I want to go to the hospital to check the fallopian tubes, so when is the best time for checking the fallopian tubes?Doctor's answer:
Hello, check for fallopian tube blockage: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a diagnostic procedure where a contrast medium is injected into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes through a catheter. Using X-ray fluoroscopy and radiography, the method assesses whether the fallopian tubes are patent, identifies the location of any blockages, and evaluates the shape of the uterine cavity based on the contrast medium's appearance in the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity.Exam Time: It is recommended to avoid sexual activity for 3 days before the exam. The best time is 2-7 days after the menstrual period ends. For patients with irregular periods, this can be delayed to 10 days. Those with particularly irregular cycles, such as amenorrhea, can undergo the exam at any time, but pregnancy must be ruled out first.
