Abstract :
Introduction: In present world infertility is one of the major concern of people involved in sexual relationships. Female infertility contributes to more than half of the burden and amongst it tubal causes are very common especially in the developing nations. Even with advent of newer cross sectional imaging modalities like pelvic MRI, imaging of fallopian tubes still remains an unchartered territory. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) was one of the first imaging modality used to evaluate the female genital tract is still used at large even today. In this article we tried to study the utility and indications of HSG in present scenario to evaluate the various pathologies causing infertility.
Aims: To study the role of hysterosalpingography in female infertility and identify the different pathologies seen on imaging.
Study design: Retrospective observational study. Images and reports of 41 patients who underwent HSG in past one year (1 August 2016 to 31 July 2017). Followup obtained for 1 year in form of any further successful conception.
Results:Infertility was divided as primary in 30 and secondary in 11 cases. Findings were normal in 27, 7 had tubal block, 1 each had peritubal adhesions, salpingitisisthmicanodosumand synechia while 2 each had submucosal fioid and mullerian duct anomalies. On followup 4 cases with normal HSG conceived while that of abnormal only 2 conceived.
Conclusion: HSG is useful in identification of multiple genital tract abnormalities that are associated with infertility. It has ability to demonstrate dynamic free spillage of contrast and has some therapeutic role also.
