Abstract
Introduction
Infertility is a problem as old as mankind itself. Approximately 10% to 15% of all married couple are infertile with female factors accounting for approximately 40% of these cases which include uterine tubal, ovarian and other factors. Uterine factors are responsible for 5% to 10% of etiologies1. Uterine conditions causing infertility consists of Mullerian anomalies, fibroids, polyps, synechiae.TVS is an imaging modality of choice for monitoring follicular development 2 and can also demonstrate congenital uterine anomalies.
Modern hysteroscopy has two major applications: First diagnosis and second management of intrauterine defects. Investigators showed that 34% to 62% of infertile patients have uterine abnormality recognized by hysteroscopy that could explain infertility3.
