What are the examinations after ectopic pregnancy

For women, no one wants to have an ectopic pregnancy during pregnancy. However, after an ectopic pregnancy occurs due to various reasons, many women will choose ectopic pregnancy surgery in order to maintain their health. So what are the postoperative examinations for ectopic pregnancy? This is what many women want to know comprehensively. The following content introduces it. You can take a look at what kinds of examinations are involved.

Laparoscopic treatment of ectopic pregnancy usually involves removing one side of the fallopian tube and performing an ostomy, but you can also choose to retain the fallopian tube. However, if the operation is not very successful, it will affect the patency of the fallopian tubes. Postoperative examination for ectopic pregnancy is usually performed 3-7 days after the end of menstruation, with a hysterosalpingography examination to understand the patency of the fallopian tubes.

Hysterosalpingography is an imaging test that can detect whether the fallopian tubes are obstructed, which part of the fallopian tubes is obstructed, whether the uterus is deformed, whether there are space-occupying lesions in the uterine cavity, and whether there are uterine cavity adhesions. The procedure for a hysterosalpingogram is as follows:

(1) The patient takes the lithotomy position, the vulva and vagina are routinely disinfected, a sterile towel is laid, and the position and size of the uterus are checked.

(2) Use a vaginal speculum to dilate the vagina and fully expose the cervix. Disinfect the cervix and vaginal vault again. Use a cervical clamp to clamp the anterior lip of the cervix and explore the uterine cavity.

(3) If a metal catheter is used, fill the catheter with contrast agent, expel the air, and then insert the catheter into the cervix, tightly block the external cervical opening to prevent the contrast agent from overflowing. Observe the flow of contrast agent through the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes under X-ray fluoroscopy and take films.

If the examination results show that the fallopian tubes are blocked, it will cause infertility, so appropriate treatment should be given according to the location of the blockage; if the examination results show that the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, appropriate treatment should be actively given. Only in this way can the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy be avoided and reduced.
