Does undergoing angiography cause harm to the body?
Disease description:
My wife is scheduled to undergo a contrast imaging examination at the hospital tomorrow. She has never had this type of examination before, so I’d like to ask: Is contrast imaging harmful to the body?

Hello, this examination may cause some irritation to the fallopian tubes and could even lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain or irregular vaginal bleeding in women. However, these effects typically resolve naturally within a few days of rest following the procedure, so there’s no need for concern. You may schedule a comprehensive evaluation at the hospital within one week after your menstrual period ends—and prior to any sexual intercourse. If fallopian tube abnormalities are detected, prompt treatment is recommended. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
