    Summary

    Uterine anomalies are common in women with unexplained infertility, even with open fallopian tubes. This study found a high incidence of uterine abnormalities in such patients, suggesting their importance in fertility evaluations.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive medicine
    • Gynecology
    • Infertility research

    Background:

    • Primary infertility affects numerous couples seeking conception.
    • Identifying the causes of infertility is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Uterine cavity abnormalities can impact reproductive outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of uterine anomalies in primary infertility patients.
    • To assess the utility of Jarcho's classification in diagnosing uterine abnormalities.
    • To determine the correlation between uterine contour and unexplained infertility.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 190 primary infertility patients with patent fallopian tubes was studied.
    • Hysterosalpingography was performed to visualize uterine contour.
    • Uterine abnormalities were classified using Jarcho's classification system.

    Main Results:

    • A high incidence of uterine anomalies was observed in 74.21% of patients.
    • The findings indicate a significant association between uterine anomalies and unexplained infertility.
    • Hysterosalpingography proved effective in demonstrating uterine contour abnormalities.

    Conclusions:

    • Uterine anomalies are frequently present in patients with primary unexplained infertility.
    • Routine screening for uterine abnormalities should be considered in infertility workups.
    • Jarcho's classification provides a standardized method for categorizing uterine malformations.
