BACKGROUND The possibility of conception following selective salpingography and tubal catheterization is believed to decline sharply a few months after the procedure. This observation may be due to the relatively small number of patients and short follow-up of previous studies. Furthermore, couples with other causes of infertility apart from proximal tubal blockage have usually been excluded. ...

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of the learning curve of one surgeon on the term delivery rate following laparoscopic salpingostomy for tubal infertility. This was a retrospective audit of ongoing clinical practice, undertaken in two tertiary level infertility programmes. Subjects in this study were women undergoing surgery for total occlusion of the distal Fallopian tub...

Endometrial carcinoma is rarely seen during reproductive ages and commonly related to infertility, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and obesity. Pregnancy associated endometrial carcinoma is even rarer and this is the second case reported in the literature concerning tubal pregnancy associated endometrial carcinoma. We present a case of a 36-year-old woman with a history of PCOS, infertility...

BACKGROUND In many developing countries, little is known about the prevalence of genital Chlamydia trachomatis infections and complications, such as infertility, thus preventing any policy from being formulated regarding screening for C. trachomatis of patients at risk for infertility. The objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of C. trachomatis and evaluate the diagnost...

We performed this retrospective case-control study analyzing 428 first-attempt in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, among which 254 involved women with a previous or present diagnosis of ovarian endometriosis. First, the results of these 254 cycles were compared with 174 cycles involving patients with proven non-endometriotic tubal infertility having similar age and body mass index. Women with ...

This study aims to determine the relative contribution of oocyte and/or sperm dysfunction to the reduction of fertilization rates in vitro in cases of minor endometriosis and prolonged unexplained infertility. The results of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment with ovarian stimulation have been compared between couples with the above conditions and women with tubal infertility (as control fo...

The prevalence fallopian tubal obstruction was 19.1% in fertility age group. In this case study patient suffered from infertility since 3yrs and diagnosed primary due right after allopathic consultation. IUI has done thric...

The diagnosis of uterine and/or tubal pathology as causes of female infertility represents a fundamental step in the evaluation of the infertile couple. Apart from the invasive diagnostic procedures, several others diagnostic techniques useful to the clinical evaluation of the uterine cavity and tubal anatomy are: transvaginal sonography (TVS), hysterosalpingography (HSG), hysteroscopy and hydr...
