Side effects of salpingography

Hysterosalpingography is an intuitive technology for detecting the condition of the fallopian tubes. It is done by injecting contrast fluid into the fallopian tubes and then using x-rays. It can accurately determine the patency of the fallopian tubes and the locations of obstruction. This method provides great help to many infertility patients. It can directly determine the condition, diagnose the location of the disease and the severity of the disease, instead of using guesswork to judge the condition. Many people ask what are the side effects of hysterosalpingography?

Of course there are side effects of hysterosalpingography. Everything in the world must be divided into two parts. It is impossible to have only advantages and no disadvantages. Only by weighing the pros and cons and making a choice can we determine whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It is the advisable method. Here is an introduction to the side effects of salpingography:

1. Hysterosalpingography is a procedure in which contrast agents are injected into the uterus and fallopian tubes and monitored under the fluoroscopy of an X-ray machine. This will cause the body to absorb some of the X-rays. However, the damage caused by transient X-ray exposure is mild and reversible. When undergoing routine X-ray examinations, be sure to pay attention to protection, but there is no need to be afraid.

2. X-ray hysterosalpingography uses iodine contrast agent. 40% iodized oil has high density and good imaging effect, but it is very irritating and can cause severe abdominal pain after surgery. It can sometimes cause chemical peritonitis. The examination time is long, the absorption is slow, and it can easily cause foreign body reaction and form granulomas. If a large amount enters the vein, there is a risk of causing oil embolism.

The above introduces the side effects of salpingography. In fact, this side effect is not very harmful to the human body. After the salpingography, you should pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid infection. You can appropriately choose some Chinese medicine for conditioning. Be careful to avoid sexual intercourse within two weeks after the angiography. If there is inflammation, you can consult a doctor and take some antibiotics appropriately. In addition, hysterosalpingography may sometimes give false impressions. To be on the safe side, you can do it several times.
