Intrauterine pathologies have been shown to be present in 25% of infertile patients.Structural abnormalities of the uterine endometrial cavity may affect the reproductive outcome adversely, by interfering with the implantation or causing spontaneous abortion. Intrauterine abnormalities may visualize using a variety of techniques. Including hysterosalpingography (HSG), transvaginal sonography (T...

OBJECTIVES This study is aimed at determining the pattern of abnormalities in the Hysterosalpingograms of patients who attended the Radiology Unit of Ebonyi State University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki. METHOD The 188 hysterosalpingograms conducted between January 2002 to December 2005 were analysed.. RESULTS The mean age in this study was 31 years. Forty-one (21.8%) Hysterosalpingograms w...

The study was aimed to provide basic information regarding reproductive status of Gaddi sheep reared by nomadic tribe of Himachal Pradesh.

Background. The preferred treatment method of most hydatidiform moles is suction aspiration. In rare circumstances uterine abnormalities may preclude surgical treatment. Case. We report a case of complete molar pregnancy successfully treated with methotrexate followed by EMA/CO. A 38-year-old woman with a complete hydatidiform mole and multiple uterine fibroids underwent a failed attempt at suc...

Background Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a useful screening test for the evaluation of female infertility.

Maternal and/or placental factors have been implicated.
