摘要
IntroductionHysterosalpingography is widely used as a first-line investigation for infertility, and may also be therapeutic, increasing pregnancy rates. Aqueous and oil-based contrast agents can be used. Some studies suggest Lipiodol hysterosalpingography has a greater therapeutic effect on fertility than aqueous contrast, though this is contentious. There are additionally safety concerns surrounding Lipiodol hysterosalpingography. This review summarises the adverse effects associated with Lipiodol hysterosalpingography, particularly on thyroid function.Key findings331 articles were identified. Of these, 46 met inclusion criteria. 3 further articles were identified from reference lists. Complications typically cited in the literature include pain, intravasation, life-threatening oil embolism, and lipogranuloma formation. Emerging evidence suggests that Lipiodol hysterosalpingography may also impact maternal and neonatal thyroid function. Women may develop hypo- or hyperthyroidism. Thyroid dysfunction is clinically significant as even subclinical hypothyroidism reduces fertility, increases the risk of pregnancy complications including miscarriage, pre-eclampsia and perinatal mortality, and adversely impacts foetal neurodevelopment. One study suggested a possible link with neonatal congenital hypothyroidism.ConclusionThere is emerging evidence to suggest that Lipiodol hysterosalpingography can cause hypo- or hyperthyroidism, in addition to known adverse effects of pain, intravasation, oil embolism, and lipogranuloma formation.Implications for practiceGiven the significance of these risks, and contention surrounding whether Lipiodol truly increases pregnancy rates compared to aqueous mediums, careful consideration is required in the selection of contrast agent. In particular, Lipiodol hysterosalpingography may not be suitable for women with pre-existing thyroid dysfunction.
