Patient's question:
I am 43 years old and had a daughter at the age of 25. I have had the IUD removed for 2 years without using contraception, but I haven't become pregnant.Doctor's answer:
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) has a certain effect on the restoration of fallopian tube patency, but the cure rate and pregnancy rate are relatively low. Hysterosalpingography involves injecting methylene blue solution or physiological saline through the cervix into the uterine cavity. The fluid then flows 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 in obstructed fallopian tubes. Hysterosalpingography generally does not cause significant discomfort for the patient.
