Generally, before doing lipiodol hysterosalpingography, the doctor will ask the husband to do a semen test first. If there is no abnormality in the semen, he will consider doing this test. The subjects for this examination are those whose basal body temperature curve is biphasic, whose corpus luteum function is good, who have had three consecutive menstrual cycles and still cannot conceive.
There are several precautions when doing lipiodol hysterosalpingography.
◎ The imaging time is selected from 3 days after menstruation to before ovulation. If it is too early, just after menstruation, the remaining endometrial debris in the uterine cavity may be squeezed into the pelvic cavity, artificially causing endometriosis; if it is too late, choose after the ovulation period, when the endometrium has been significantly enlarged. Thick endometrium may thicken at the entrance of the fallopian tube, blocking the opening of the fallopian tube and causing the illusion of obstruction; at the same time, debris from the endometrium falls off during the secretory phase, blocking the entrance to the fallopian tube, or being squeezed into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis. In ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg may be squeezed into the fallopian tube, causing ectopic pregnancy.
◎ Before imaging, check for trichomonas or fungal infection.
◎ Within 3 days before the radiography and within 2 weeks after the radiography, sexual intercourse and deep water bathing are not allowed to prevent infection.
