Medical Video: A Color Test That Can Tell Your Mental Age
Definition
What is laparoscopy and dye testing?
Laparoscopy and coloring tests are surgeries that use keyhole surgery to find out the cause of your pregnancy difficulties. A coloring test will show why your fallopian tube is blocked. Laparoscopy will show if you have endometriosis, pelvic infection, adhesion, ovarian cysts or fibroids. In some women, minor treatment can also be done simultaneously.
When do I need to undergo laparoscopy and dye testing?
Laparoscopy and coloring tests can help doctors know the cause of your infertility.
Prevention & warning
What do I need to know before undergoing laparoscopy and coloring tests?
There are several alternatives to laparoscopy and coloring tests. X-rays or ultrasound tests can show if your tube is blocked.
Process
What should I do before undergoing laparoscopy and coloring tests?
Discuss with your doctor about medications you are taking, allergies, or other health conditions before undergoing surgery. Before surgery, arrange a meeting with your anesthetist. It is important for you to follow the doctor's instructions to stop eating or drinking before surgery. You will be given instructions before surgery, such as whether you are allowed to eat before surgery. In general, you must fast 6 hours before the procedure begins. You may be allowed to drink fluids, such as coffee, a few hours before surgery.
What is the process of laparoscopy and dye testing?
Surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and lasts for around 15 minutes. The surgeon will make several small incisions in the abdomen. Equipment such as a telescope will be inserted into the stomach for surgery. The dye will be injected and will pass through your fallopian tube.
What should I do after undergoing laparoscopy and coloring tests?
You are allowed to go home the same day. The medical team will inform you of what is found on laparoscopy and dye tests and discuss with you any treatment or further action you need. Rest for 1 to 2 days and take painkillers if needed. Exercising can help you return to your normal activities. Consult your doctor first.
Complications
What complications can occur?
Like other procedures, there are several possible risks. Ask the surgeon to explain the risks to you. Possible complications in the procedure can generally include reactions to anesthesia, bleeding, or clots in the blood (deep vein thrombosis, DVT). In laparoscopic procedures and dye tests, there are possible specific complications, such as:
● damage to structures such as the intestine, bladder or blood vessels
● the appearance of a hernia around the incision
● surgical emphysema
● failure to know the cause
● procedure failure
● infections in gynecological organs and bladder.
You can minimize the risk of complications by following instructions from a doctor before surgery, such as fasting and stopping taking certain drugs.
