Menstrual irregularities after undergoing tubal irrigation may be caused by fatigue and other factors. It could be due to inadequate rest following the procedure, which affects overall health and consequently disrupts menstruation. Additionally, if proper post-procedure care is neglected, complications such as fallopian tube infection may occur, leading to menstrual disorders, abdominal pain, bloating, backache, and other symptoms. An ultrasound and a sex hormone panel (six-item test) are recommended to determine the underlying cause, followed by appropriate treatment accordingly.
