Abstract:
A review of 1035 hysterosalpingographies (HSG) has shown a frequency of acquired and congenital morphological alteration in 272 patients with spontaneous abortion and in 763 infertile couples. The frequency of congenital anomalies was 25.5% in spontaneous abortions and 5.3% in infertility. Acquired morphological anomalies were 11.7% in spontaneous abortion and 34.6% in infertility. Tubal problems represent 25% of lesions in infertility. Furthermore couples have been studied by correlating the male factor i.e. the sperm quality to various types of morphological anomalies observed in order to better evaluate the actual damage evidence by HSG.
