Among the causes of female infertility, blocked fallopian tubes are a common reason. Some women who are unable to conceive during the preconception period should go to the hospital for fallopian tube examination to understand whether there is poor patency or blockage of the fallopian tubes. So, how long does it take to get results from fallopian tube imaging?
When women need to undergo hysterosalpingography, the time for issuing the examination results varies depending on the examination equipment used. If a regular hysterosalpingography is performed, X-ray imaging is mainly used for contrast examination, and the examination results can usually only be obtained in the afternoon of the next day. At present, many formal large hospitals have adopted four-dimensional color ultrasound for fallopian tube imaging examination, and the examination results can be obtained on the same day.
If a pregnant woman cannot conceive naturally for a long time during the preconception period and needs to undergo hysterosalpingography, if possible, four-dimensional color ultrasound hysterosalpingography can be considered. Compared with X-ray hysterosalpingography, the radiation level is relatively low, so the examination belongs to mild tubal blockage. After one month of treatment, pregnancy can be planned.
If X-ray is used for hysterosalpingography, the relative radiation dose is relatively high, but it is still within the safe range of the human body. But it is usually recommended to undergo this examination for three months before considering preparing for pregnancy. In addition, for cases of poor patency or blockage of the fallopian tubes detected during examination, multiple treatment methods are often involved based on the specific condition of the blockage. Doctors will choose targeted methods, and patients should actively cooperate with treatment.
