The fallopian tubes play an important role in the conception of the baby, because immediately after ovulation the egg penetrates exactly where the fertilization process is carried out. Then the zygote (the fertilized egg) moves into the uterus, where it penetrates the mucous membrane. As you can see, without fallopian tubes, normal conception is impossible. If their patency is impaired or an inflammatory process is observed, then the zygote cannot get into the uterine cavity, and conception develops in the tube itself (ectopic pregnancy).
It is very dangerous for the life and health of a woman. In order to avoid such consequences, a thorough diagnosis of the state of the organs is necessary. To study the activity of the tubes, perturbation is proposed - this is a medical procedure in which the doctor injects carbon dioxide or air into the fallopian tubes, uterus and abdominal cavity to determine their functional state.
Who is undergoing the procedure?
The procedure is indicated for women with a diagnosis of infertility. It is also prescribed to people who have had adnexitis or salpingoophoritis, as well as patients suffering from endocrine pathologies. The third category of patients are those who already had an ectopic pregnancy. Sometimes this method is combined with other diagnostic and treatment procedures: laparoscopy, hysterosalpingography, and then perturbation is already performed. This is necessary for a more informative and accurate examination.
Conditions for
Blowing pipes is carried out immediately after the end of menstruation (before ovulation). Before the procedure, the doctor must conduct a bimanual examination of the cervix and vagina, and also perform a smear analysis. At the time of diagnosis, the patient should not suffer from inflammatory diseases.
Technique
Kimographic perturbation is a painless procedure that is performed on an outpatient basis. During this method, painkillers and injections are not required. First, the doctor disinfects the vagina and genitals, then introduces a gynecological mirror and exposes the cervix using bullet forceps .
A special rubber tube with a tip is gently pushed into the uterine cavity, and then carbon dioxide or air is released. When purging, a kymographic record is kept in the system. Perturbation of the fallopian tubes does not take more than 5-7 minutes. After its completion, the computer counts the data and gives the final result about the functional activity of the internal organs.
If obstruction or a violation of peristalsis of the pipes is detected, the doctor prescribes additional examination methods and appropriate therapy. Perturbation is an important procedure for evaluating women's health. It is not performed for pathologies of the cardiovascular system, as well as for the acute stage of genital diseases and tuberculosis.
