Abstract
Background: Diagnostic laparoscopic evaluation for infertility is indicated for women who failed to achieve a successful pregnancy after twelve months or more of regular unprotected intercourse. Since approximately 85% of couples may be expected to achieve pregnancy within that time interval without medical assistance, evaluation may be indicated for as many as 15% of couples. Objective: To find out different causes of female infertility with diagnostic laparoscopy and their comparative frequency in primary and secondary infertility. Methods: All 72 infertile women who underwent diagnostic laparoscopy for primary and secondary infertility during this study period were included in the study, conducted at Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Gandhi Medical College/Hospital, Secunderabad from January 2015 to December 2015. Results: 72 infertile women underwent laparoscopy during the study period. Among this 56 (77.77%) of patients had primary infertility, while 16 (22.22%) had secondary infertility. Among this, 15 (20.82%) patients who underwent laparoscopy have no visual abnormality. Common findings were tubal blocks in 12 (16.66%) and PCO 13 (18.05%) in these patients. Polycystic ovaries were not found in cases of secondary infertility. Endometriosis was found in 4 (5.55%) patients.PID was found in 3 (5.35%) patients peritubal and periovarian adhesion were found in 7 (9.73%). Fibroids were found in 12 (16.66%) cases and ovarian cysts were found in 5 (6.94%) cases and uterine anomalies were found in 2 (2.77%) cases. Conclusion: Most common cases responsible for infertility were tubal occlusions and polycystic ovaries.
