Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Gynecological Endoscopy

Background:

  • Infertility affects a significant portion of the population.
  • Accurate evaluation of the uterine cavity is crucial for successful assisted reproductive techniques (ART).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the indications for hysteroscopy in infertile women.
  • To highlight hysteroscopy's role in evaluating the cervix and uterine cavity for ART candidates.
  • To discuss hysteroscopy as an alternative to traditional gamete/embryo transfer methods.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical guidelines.
  • Analysis of hysteroscopy's diagnostic and therapeutic applications in infertility.

Main Results:

  • Hysteroscopy is a valuable tool for assessing uterine characteristics in infertile women.
  • Key indications include evaluating the cervix and uterine cavity.
  • It can detect pathologies missed by hysterosalpingography.

Conclusions:

  • Hysteroscopy improves the evaluation of infertile patients undergoing ART.
  • It offers a comprehensive assessment of the female reproductive tract.
  • Its potential as an alternative transfer method warrants further investigation.
