The world incidence rate of is 20-35%, while ranges from 2.4% to 11.7%. study was conducted know related factors with incid...

OBJECTIVE Uterus transplantation (UTx) is a potential option for women with uterine factor infertility to have a child, but there has been no large-scale survey of the views on UTx in women of reproductive age in Japan. The present study was aimed to clarify the views of Japanese women of reproductive age on UTx for uterine factor infertility. METHODS A questionnaire on UTx was conducted by a...

Abstract Introduction Uterine transplantation (UTx) allows women with abnormal uterine factor infertility (AUFI) to have their own biological children. UTx use both living and deceased donations (LD DD), once transplanted, embryos fertilised through IVF are implanted. The aims of this review summarise the history discuss ethical issues surrounding immunosuppression for a ‘life enhancing’ transp...

The main female anatomical causes of infertility include post-infectious tubal damage, endometriosis, and congenital/acquired uterine anomalies. Congenital (septate uterus) and acquired (myomas and synechiae) diseases of the uterus may lead to infertility, pregnancy loss, and other obstetric complications. Pelvic inflammatory disease represents the most common cause of tubal damage. Surgery sti...

Fifty-seven patients who underwent hysteroscopic septum resection between January 1991 and December 1996 were studied; nine patients presented with recurrent abortions, 46 with infertility (26 primary and 20 secondary), one with dysmenorrhoea and one with an asymptomatic complete septum. Their reproductive history included 78 pregnancies: 69 (88.4%) abortions, two (2.6%) ectopics, two (2.6%) pr...

Introduction Infertility is a condition that affects a couple and is defined as the lack of conception after an arbitrary period of 12 months with regular sexual intercourse and without using any contraception. Infertility is a common medical problem present in about 10% of couples in reproductive age. Tubal factor infertility (TFI) is one of the leading causes of infertility in the world inclu...

Reproductive surgery could be divided into surgery as a primary treatment for infertility, surgery to enhance in-vitro fertilization outcome, and surgery for fertility preservation. Tubal disease accounts for 25%–35% of female factor infertility. A successful tubal repair gives the patient the possibility of conceiving more than once without further treatment. It also gives the couple the psych...

Leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a pleiotrophic cytokine required for blastocyst implantation in mice. Uterine expression of LIF and that of its receptors has been demonstrated in a number of mammalian species indicating that LIF may have widespread importance in the establishment of pregnancy. The variations in the reaction of the uterus in preparation for and during implantation are consi...

Uterine malformations consist of a group of miscellaneous congenital anomalies of the female genital system. Their mean prevalence in the general population and in the population of fertile women is approximately 4.3%, in infertile patients approximately 3.5% and in patients with recurrent pregnancy losses approximately 13%. Septate uterus is the commonest uterine anomaly with a mean incidence ...
