As the uterus has been unfortunately perforated, you must avoid conception for atleast 2 months till that area heals. Also, whenever you conceive, keep your gynaecologist informed about the same, as there could be a small chance of uterine rupture.
Ideally, dye check should not have been done just after the perforation, but there shouldn't be a complication due to that.
