Can you take medicine before iodine oil contrast?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Choose the period from 3 days after menstruation to ovulation. If menstruation ends too early, the uterine cavity lining may still have wounds. Contrast media may enter the surrounding blood vessels of the uterus from the lining wounds, potentially causing pulmonary embolism. Alternatively, residual endometrial fragments remaining in the uterine cavity may be squeezed into the pelvic cavity, artificially causing endometriosis.
