You can take a bath after tubal imaging, but be careful to take a shower only, not a bath. If you take a bath there is a risk of bacterial infection upstream, such as causing endometritis or pelvic inflammatory disease. After tubal imaging, a few women will experience cervical stretching due to pulling on the cervix, while irritation of the uterus can lead to a small amount of bleeding and mild abdominal pain. Symptoms of cervical pulling and abdominal pain may disappear in about half an hour, and bleeding usually lasts no more than seven days. After a tubal imaging procedure, it is recommended that you wait at least two weeks before having intercourse. Depending on the type of contrast agent used during the imaging, the time to start preparing for pregnancy varies, and with water-based contrast agents, pregnancy is usually possible the following month.
