How long after the angiography can surgery for blocked fallopian tubes be performed?
Disease description:
Recently, I have been experiencing abdominal bloating and pain. I underwent a hysterosalpingography (HSG), and the doctor informed me that my fallopian tubes are blocked, recommending surgery. However, I'm unsure when to schedule the surgery after the HSG and am worried about missing the optimal treatment window. So, how soon after the imaging procedure can surgery for blocked fallopian tubes be performed?

The surgery for blocked fallopian tubes can usually be performed one day after the imaging procedure. The imaging examination should be carried out 3 to 7 days after menstruation ends, primarily to assess the patency of the fallopian tubes. Since the imaging process involves medical intervention, it may cause pain and postoperative infection. If the condition is not very severe, patients are advised not to undergo hysterosalpingography lightly. If surgery is desired, strict preoperative requirements must be met, and measures should ensure that inflammation does not occur.
