Dr Niranjan Kumar

Background: Infertility is the inability to achieve pregnancy after one year or more of unprotected regular sexual intercourse. The present study was conducted to assess utility of MR HSG in detecting tubal patency in female infertility. Materials & Methods: 48 cases of primary or secondary infertility were subjected to MR HSG followed by cHSG during the preovulatory period. If tubes were blocked, the patients were subjected to DL in the next menstrual cycle. Results: Out the 48 patients, 22 patients had tubal blocks and 26 patients had bilateral patencies. Of the 22 patients, 17 patients had bilateral blocks and 5 patients had unilateral blocks. Among the 20 patients with secondary infertility, 6 patients had, 10 patients had history of tubectomy or tubal ligation reversal and 4 patients had infertility due to unidentified causes. Conclusion: Magnetic resonance hysterosalpingography found to be effective in Tubal patency assessment.
