New uterine and tube film technique: Selective Salpingography

Standard uterine it is a known fact that a section of the tube which appears to be closed at the front appears to be clogged because of an obstacle that is not actually closed or can be opened easily. In the medical language this is called a false positive result. Many women think that their tubes are closed by looking at the results of filamentous womb made with old techniques and they are worried about this in vain.

With advancing technology and new techniques, there are now new ways of showing the openness of the tubes or opening up small adhesions. The first of these is a selective salpingography other than a painless uterine film technique.

In the technique of painless uterine film, it is unlikely that the tubes will come off because of spasm, as it is unlikely that the sputum will reach the womb. It is also possible to open the tubes when necessary and to show that they are open the selektifsalpingograf Continue with.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) HSG 'If the checkup is closed from the beginning, it suggests that the operation should be continued with elective ping pongography.

If the tube in the uterus film is off, the following may be the case:

one- The tube is irreversibly closed.

2nd- However, there is a kind of congestion that can be caused by surgery or medical treatment.

3- The tube is closed due to small adhesions.

4- The slimy plug or clot was clogged due to the clogged tube.

5- The tube was closed because of contracting of the uterine muscles (Spasm).

An experienced radiologist can identify the obstacles in the first two by the uterus film.

Tubes closed in the uterus film due to small adhesions, plugs or spasms can be opened with a radiological technique called "selective salpingography" or it can be shown that it is actually open.

In a selective salpingography technique, a special soft cannula similar to the catheters used in angiography is passed through the cervical canal, resting against the mouth of the tube and delivering the drug directly into the tube. This process is painless and usually takes only 1-2 minutes. Selective salpingography has no side effects or complications other than the standard uterine film.

Due to selective salpingography, a large portion of the standard uterus film, 70% of which appears to be clogged from the beginning, can be opened or already shown to be open. After HSG and selective salpingography procedure, if the tubing is open, during the following months pregnancy their rates are increasing.

It should be pointed out that either HSG or selective salpingography can not be used to open a basically occluded, surgically ligated or hydrosalpinx tubing and can not replace surgical operations for this purpose.
