When can the contrast imaging examination be performed?
Disease description:
I previously experienced an ectopic pregnancy, but did not continue with that pregnancy. Now I wish to conceive, yet I constantly feel unable to get pregnant. My doctor has recommended a hysterosalpingography (HSG) examination. When is the appropriate time to undergo this procedure?

Dr. Liu Xiuyan
Hello, contrast imaging examinations include gastrointestinal contrast studies, hysterosalpingography (HSG), and angiography. Generally, gastrointestinal contrast studies require fasting prior to the examination. HSG should be performed after menstruation has completely ended. Angiography is generally less restrictive, but fasting is still recommended to minimize the risk of vomiting in case of contrast agent allergy. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant day!
