Area of Science:

  • Reproductive endocrinology and infertility diagnostics.
  • Clinical evaluation of couple infertility.

Context:

  • The established work-up for sterile couples involves multiple diagnostic steps.
  • Understanding the epidemiology of fertilization ability, fertility, and hypofertility is crucial.

Purpose:

  • To critically review the classic diagnostic work-up for infertility.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of various diagnostic tests and explore new approaches.
  • To determine the etiology of infertility in couples.

Summary:

  • The review covers temperature tracking, hormonal evaluation, sperm analysis, cervical secretions, post-coital test (PCT), and hysterogram.
  • Most infertility cases have identifiable causes through these methods.
  • Approximately 5% of cases remain unexplained after systematic evaluation, including laparoscopy.

Impact:

  • Identifies the etiology of sterility in most cases.
  • Highlights that unexplained infertility can be effectively treated with advanced techniques like in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
  • IVF demonstrates comparable pregnancy success rates for unexplained infertility and tubal factor infertility.
