Many women will undergo physical examinations during the preparation period to ensure their physical condition is suitable for pregnancy and childbirth. But during the examination, problems with the fallopian tubes can also be detected. So what is the difference between tubal patency and contrast imaging?
Tubal patency surgery is a method of understanding whether there is blockage in the fallopian tubes. Tubal patency is a diagnostic method in which doctors inject a certain amount of fluid into the female uterine cavity through equipment, while feeling the size of the injection resistance and whether there is reflux to determine whether the fallopian tubes are blocked.
Hysterosalpingography is a method of determining through imaging. This diagnostic method can real-time understand the direction of the female fallopian tubes and the flow of medication inside the female fallopian tubes through imaging. At the same time, it is also possible to understand whether there are adhesions in the female pelvic cavity through filming. It is also possible to gain a clearer and more intuitive understanding of the blockage status of female fallopian tubes through imaging.
Compared with hysterosalpingography, the data of tubal patency surgery is less stable. Due to the interference of the doctor's gentle movements and the patient's own mental stress during the fluid injection process, the results obtained from fallopian tube aspiration surgery are often inaccurate. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is generally recommended that women choose fallopian tube imaging surgery.
These two types of examinations must be performed 3-7 days after a woman's menstrual period, and there must be no sexual activity after the period is over. The examination of vaginal discharge is also considered normal, and real-time operation can only be carried out when there is no inflammation in the body.
