Summary
Transvaginal sonohysterography accurately identifies uterine cavity lesions in infertile patients. This simple imaging technique effectively detects polyps, myomas, synechiae, and hyperplasia.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Medicine
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Uterine cavity abnormalities can significantly impact female fertility.
- Accurate diagnosis of intracavitary lesions is crucial for effective infertility treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of transvaginal sonohysterography with dynamic saline instillation for diagnosing uterine cavity lesions in infertile women.
Main Methods:
- Transvaginal sonohysterography was performed in fourteen infertile patients.
- Normal saline was dynamically instilled into the uterine cavity during the procedure.
Main Results:
- Sonohysterography proved to be a simple and accurate diagnostic tool.
- The technique effectively delineated various endometrial cavity lesions, including polyps, submucosal myomas, intrauterine synechiae, and endometrial hyperplasia.
Conclusions:
- Transvaginal sonohysterography is a specific and valuable method for evaluating the uterine cavity in infertile patients.
- It allows for precise identification of intracavitary pathology contributing to infertility.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...
