Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Gynecological Diagnostics

Background:

  • Infertility affects a significant portion of the population.
  • Accurate diagnosis of uterine cavity abnormalities is crucial for successful infertility treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of hysteroscopy in the primary assessment of infertility.
  • To determine the prevalence of intrauterine pathologies in infertile patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 221 infertile patients.
  • Inclusion of patients undergoing diagnostic office hysteroscopy for uterine cavity evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Hysteroscopy identified abnormal uterine cavities in 30% of evaluated women.
  • No significant difference in intrauterine pathologies was observed between primary and secondary infertility groups.
