OBJECTIVES Using a statistical modelling approach, our study aim is to determine reliable age-related estimates of the risk of all-cause tubal factor infertility (TFI) following past or current chlamydial infection in women in Scotland. METHOD Using data from several sources, a Markov-Chain Monte Carlo model was used to estimate the age-related risk of TFI given genital chlamydia infection at...

BACKGROUND Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is one of the commonly used radiological modalities for investigating infertility in women. In developing countries such as Ghana it remains the main tool for investigating some of the underlying causes of female infertility. The purpose of this study was to determine the predominance of various hysterosalpingographic results in patients that went through ...

(Abstracted from Hum Reprod 2022;37:969–979) A main cause of female infertility is tubal pathology, with 11% to 30% cases resulting previous surgery, infections (such as sexually transmitted diseases), or endometriosis. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) considered the first choice for a patency test during fertility workup, but more patient-friendly hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography option has also...

BACKGROUND Studies carried out over the past 10 years have suggested that hydrosalpinges reduce the pregnancy rate in IVF. Here we report our observations of spontaneous pregnancies in patients who underwent salpingectomy (n = 18) or proximal tubal occlusion (n = 7) following diagnoses of unilateral hydrosalpinges and patent contralateral tubes. METHODS This multi-centre, retrospective study ...

Tubal disease is the cause of female infertility in approximately 30% of 25% of these are due to proximal tubal obstruction. Selective women and 10 salpingography represent an approach in the diagnosis and treatment of ipid (IL) is a synthetic product composed of Intral proximal tubal abnormalities. 10 % soybean oil, 1,2 % egg yolk phospholipids, 2.25 % glycerin, and water. When indicated, IL i...

This is a case series to evaluate the efficacy of falloposcopic tuboplasty (FT), a surgical technique of recanalization of occluded fallopian tube. Of 153 patients with tubal infertility for more than 2 years who underwent FT, 28.9% (44 patients) conceived, and 27.3%, 75.0%, and 88.8% conceived in 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months after FT, respectively.

Introduction: With the recent advances in assisted reproductive technologies, most reproductive surgeries for tubal infertility have been replaced by in vitro fertilization. Yet, considering the potential in vitro fertilization–related risks and drawbacks, tubal reversal surgery still plays an important role for those who desire fertility after sterilization. Case Description: We present a case...

Approximately 8-10% of couples are facing some kind infertility problem. Infertility is defined as a couple's inability to achieve pregnancy over an average one year without using birth control methods and while engaging in normal sexual intercourse. Primary secondary the two types infertility. The high percentage female reproductive age factors influencing infertility, well existing studies on...

A total of 57 infertile women, who had been referred for in vitro fertilisation or for diagnostic laparoscopy, were tested for the presence of antibodies to Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Mycoplasma hominis. Four were excluded from the study. Of the remaining 53, 33 had laparoscopically obvious tubal disorders, such as adhesions, distal occlusions and strictures, and 20 did n...
