How are the fallopian tubes studied?
Such test is performed during the first phase of the menstrual period, between the end of menstruation and the next ovulation. It is done by injecting contrast-material through an instrument placed at the neck of uterus. The contrast-fluid fills the neck, cavity of uterus as well as the fallopian tubes. Simultaneously, a series of radiological pictures is made, which clearly shows the internal condition of the tubes. The patency of the tubes can also be evaluated optically, during diagnostic laparoscopy.
