The pattern of hysterosalpingographic findings in Egyptian females being investigated for infertility

Abstract

I nfertility is a common public health problem in Africa since childlessness is seen as a major personal tragedy and can result in marital instability and suicidal tendencies. Though there are other advanced and efficient methods of evaluating the uterine cavity, cervix and fallopian tubes in women presenting with infertility, Hysterosalpingogram is still widely used because it is cheap, readily available, non invasive, easy to interpret and has the ability to demonstrate dynamic free contrast spillage. It is usually the first line of imaging evaluation of the fallopian tubes in infertility, especially in developing countries such as ours.
