Hysterosalpingography is a diagnostic method used to determine if the fallopian tubes are blocked. If the fallopian tubes are blocked, it may affect the interaction between the released eggs and sperm, increasing the risk of tubal pregnancy and potentially causing female infertility. Recently, women who are preparing for hysterosalpingography would like to know what precautions to take after the procedure?
After completing fallopian tube imaging, women should pay attention to bed rest for a few days, but not completely stay in bed. If the body recovers well after surgery, they should get out of bed and move around moderately. At the same time, they should take oral antibiotics to prevent infection and avoid adhesion after examination. After completing the imaging examination, women should also do a good job of cleaning and hygiene of the external genitalia, keep the external genitalia dry, avoid baths and sexual activity for two weeks, and prevent increasing the chance of external bacterial invasion.
Generally speaking, there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding within a week after a female imaging examination. As long as there are no other discomfort symptoms, it is a normal phenomenon and should not be overly worried. However, some women may experience lower abdominal pain and fever symptoms after the examination, but these symptoms will not last long and do not need to be treated. They will gradually disappear after 24 hours. If excessive bleeding exceeding menstrual flow or other discomfort symptoms are found, medical attention should be sought in a timely manner.
After undergoing a hysterosalpingography examination, women who want to conceive should consider preparing for pregnancy at least three months later, because hysterosalpingography examination requires understanding the condition of the fallopian tubes through X-ray irradiation and fluoroscopy. X-rays have a certain degree of radiation, which can easily lead to embryo malformation during pregnancy. Therefore, it is best to prevent pregnancy for three months. In addition, some women may have the illusion of blocked fallopian tubes due to tubal spasm during the examination process, so sometimes they may need to undergo another hysterosalpingography examination.
