In the Fertility Center clinic, tubal imaging is the most commonly used test for the fallopian tubes. Some patients have concerns about this test, worrying that it will harm their bodies and that they will need birth control after the test and that it will delay their pregnancy. In fact, these views are one-sided. Let’s take a closer look at tubal imaging. Tubal imaging is a method of examining the shape of the uterine cavity and the patency of the fallopian tubes by injecting iodine oil contrast into the uterine cavity and taking pictures under X-ray fluoroscopy. Question 1: Is tubal imaging harmful to the body? We have just briefly introduced the procedure of tubal imaging. We know that tubal imaging needs to be performed under X-ray fluoroscopy, so the body will be exposed to X-rays, which in theory can cause some harm. However, the damage caused by this brief exposure to radiation is minor. Question 2: Why do I need a gynecological examination before having a tubal angiogram? Although the effect of tubal angiography on the body is relatively small, we have to strictly follow its indications. Patients with acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and vaginitis cannot undergo tubal angiography. Therefore, the gynecological examination before the tubal angiography is performed to exclude gynecological inflammation. Question 3: Why is it necessary to check the male partner’s semen before having a tubal angiogram? For infertility test, we always advocate to check the male partner’s semen first, because if the male partner has severe oligozoospermia, he may need to undergo in vitro fertilization directly, and the female partner does not need to check the fallopian tubes. Question 4: How soon can I get pregnant after a tubal imaging? You should use contraception and reduce inflammation in the month after the imaging, and you can get pregnant in the next month. Question 5: Why do I need to take another one on the second day after the first imaging film? The contrast medium in our center is iodine oil. The 2nd film is a delayed film after 24 hours, which can show the diffusion of the contrast medium in the fallopian tubes and is a guide to diagnose the adhesions in the umbilical ends of the fallopian tubes and pelvic adhesions.
