Surgery is not routinely performed after a tubalogram, unless there is an emergency situation that requires an emergency procedure that cannot wait.
Tubalography is an invasive gynecological examination. A catheter is first placed into the uterine cavity via the vagina, then a contrast medium is injected into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes through the catheter, and then whether or not the fallopian tubes are open, as well as the location of the obstruction and the shape of the uterine cavity, is understood based on the contrast medium’s visualization of the uterine cavity, fallopian tubes, and the pelvic cavity.
Tubal imaging is usually performed within 3-7 days after a clean period. If tubal imaging is performed in the same month, it is recommended to use contraception and prohibit sexual intercourse in the same month. For some elective surgeries, it can be chosen to be performed in the next month after menstruation, and the surgery is usually not chosen in the same month in order to favor the body’s recovery, reduce the pain, and alleviate the psychological burden of female patients.
If there are other emergencies such as acute abdominal pain, trauma, etc. that require urgent surgical treatment and can no longer wait, it is possible to perform emergency surgery.
