Hysterosalpingographic evaluation of tubal patency in women treated for anovulatory infertility

During therapy of anovulatory infertility, percentage of pregnancies is lower than the ovulation rate. Cause of this phenomenon is connected as well with the inadequate corpus luteum as others anomalies of the genital tract. Hysterosalpingography was performed in 120 infertile women in whom pregnancy did not occur in spite of effective induction of ovulation. Patency of both tubes was observed in 79 percent of patients. Occlusion of right tube has occurred in 8 percent, left tube in 5 percent, and both tubes in 8 percent of women. Authors suggest that laparoscopy should be obligatory as diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in woman with concomitant ovarian failure and abnormal HSG results.
