Tubal patency test
They are undertaken for suspected blockages or pelvic adhesions in the fallopian tubes
Rubin's test
Hysterosalpingography
The appropriate time is 7_10 days after the first day of menstrual period
It shouldn't be done during the time of an active vaginal.cervical.pelvic infection
Pap smear

Cold_knife conization
Electro_surgery,leep
Complete healing of the cervix takes as long as 6 weeks
Intercourse and /or the use of vaginal tampons should be restricted for at least 2_3 weeks after procedure to prevent bleeding and infection
Ultrasound assessment of tubal patency
It is sometimes called hystrosalpingo_contrast sonography
A solution containing galactose micro particles visible on ultrasound is injected through the cervix
Laparoscopic hydrotubation
Assessment of tubal patency during laparoscopy
Cervix is instrumented with cannula and 5_20ml of methylene blue dye is injected into the uterine cavity
Colposcopy
Portable microscope used for the direct visualization of the cervix to obtain a sample of abnormal tissue as well as to facilitate and confirm the diagnosis of cervical cancer following a positive or suspicious pap smear
It should be done in the 5th day after the end of menstruation
Ultrasound
Simple procedure,based on transmission of sound waves
The examination may be made trans_abdominally through a full bladder,or trans_vaginally when the bladder s empty
