Background of the study: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is widely used for the female infertility workup. Many studies have demonstrated that the use of oil-soluble contrast medium (OSCM) ethiodized oil for HSG surgery can improve pregnancy rates. However,The 24-hour delayed radiographs of OSCM HSG also brought some inconvenience to the patients , for example, patients need to make two trips to the hospital. Objective of the study: The purpose of this study was to compare OSCM HSGs using 4-hour and 24-hour delayed radiographs in terms of diagnosing tubal patency and identifying the presence of pelvic adhesions. Study design: Prospective, open label, self - controlled study Study population: Infertile patients scheduled for an OSCM HSG

Normal patients only need to take delayed radiographs 24h after HSG operation. In this study, 4-hour delayed radiographs were added to the 24-hour delayed radiographs, so that the patients had to take one more delayed radiographs .

In case of any dispute, the two doctors reached an agreement after discussion. The results were defined as : completely consistent; mostly consistent;partly consistent;completely different.
Time frame: The evaluation was performed within 1 day after completion of the 24 hours delayed radiographs.
