What should I pay attention to when doing fallopian tube angiography

As the pace of life continues to accelerate, more and more women are prone to infertility. We all know that the examination of fallopian tubes is crucial in the examination of female infertility. Only by ensuring normal ovulation can the chance of female conception be increased. However, among the methods of examining the fallopian tubes, angiography is the most effective method. However, adequate preparations must be made to make the test results more accurate. Let's take a look at what we need to pay attention to when doing fallopian tube angiography?

What should be paid attention to when doing fallopian tube angiography

Contrast time selection

1. The best time for surgery is 3 to 7 days after the patient's menstruation ends, and sexual intercourse is prohibited 5 days before surgery.

2. Atropine 0.5 mg can be injected within half an hour before the operation to reduce fallopian tube spasm.

3. The patient empties his bladder.

4. Ask whether there is a history of iodine allergy. An iodine allergy test is performed half an hour before imaging. Generally, a skin scratch test is performed by applying 2.5% iodine tincture to the flexor surface of the forearm with a diameter of about 2 to 3 cm. A scratch is made on it and the redness or swelling is observed after 20 minutes. Conjunctival testing or venous testing may also be done. Conjunctival test (conjunctival instillation method): Instill contrast agent into the conjunctiva of one eye. After 15 minutes, observe whether the conjunctiva is congested, red and swollen, and compare it with the side without drug instillation. If so, it is positive. Intravenous test (intravenous injection method): 1 ml of 30% contrast agent of the same batch is injected intravenously. If there is no reaction after 15 minutes, it is negative. If urticaria, sneezing, chest tightness, metallic taste in the mouth, laryngeal edema, etc. occur, it is positive.

5. Patients with constipation can take laxatives orally before surgery to keep the uterus in its normal position and avoid the false impression of external pressure.

Postoperative precautions

1. Do not take a bath or have sexual intercourse for two weeks after angiography. Antibiotics may be given as appropriate to prevent infection.

2. Sometimes tubal spasm may cause the illusion of tubal obstruction. Repeat if necessary.

3. A small amount of vaginal bleeding within one week after the angiography is normal if there is no other discomfort. If the amount of bleeding is more than the menstrual volume or if there are other discomforts, you should contact your doctor.

4. It is best to practice contraception for three months after the contrast examination to reduce the possible effects of X-ray exposure. However, clinical observations have found that women who become pregnant in the same month after angiography do not have an increased risk of fetal abnormalities.

5. Take Chinese medicine for conditioning, pay more attention to hygiene and avoid inflammation and infection.

With the continuous advancement of medical care, many diseases have good examination and treatment methods. The above is an introduction to what you need to pay attention to when doing fallopian tube angiography. After understanding it, you must grasp the correct time before doing fallopian tube angiography. After the fallopian tube angiography, you must also pay attention to maintaining your body's health.
