Introduction to selective tubal angiography (SSG)

  Some of the infertile patients are infertile due to the inability of the egg to unite with the sperm due to tubal incompetence or obstruction. Such patients can solve the problem by unblocking the fallopian tubes. This procedure involves the use of a catheter to inject contrast into the fallopian tubes under X-ray fluoroscopy to observe the degree of patency, and for those who do not show the contrast, a guide wire is used to unblock the tubes and then inject medication to improve the degree of tubal patency. The procedure takes about 15 to 30 minutes and costs about $2,000. You can be ready to get pregnant in the second month of the treatment period and the treatment is effective for 6 to 12 months after the end of the treatment. The procedure is performed on the fifth day after the menstrual period. Pre-operative intercourse is forbidden and leucorrhoea tests are required. After the operation, intercourse and bathing are prohibited for 2 weeks and oral antibiotics are taken for 5 days.
