Evaluating Infertility Through Diagnostic Hysterolaparoscopy: A Prospective Study

Area of Science:

• Reproductive Medicine
• Gynecology
• Infertility Diagnostics

Background:

• Infertility impacts many reproductive-age couples globally, with varied etiologies.
• Diagnostic hystero-laparoscopy (DHL) combines hysteroscopy and laparoscopy for thorough infertility evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

• To assess the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of DHL in identifying female infertility causes.
• To evaluate complication rates and compare DHL efficacy against other diagnostic methods.

Main Methods:

• Prospective study of 50 women (ages 20-40) with primary or secondary infertility.
• All participants underwent Diagnostic hystero-laparoscopy (DHL) to assess uterine, tubal, and ovarian factors.

Main Results:

• Tubal factors (36%) and ovarian issues (29.8%) were the most common infertility causes identified by DHL.
• DHL also detected uterine pathologies potentially impacting pregnancy outcomes.

Conclusions:

• Infertility is often multifactorial, emphasizing the value of comprehensive diagnostic approaches like DHL.
• Advanced diagnostic techniques like DHL are crucial for targeted treatments and enhanced reproductive success.
