SALINE SONOSALPINGOGRAPHY IN FEMALE INFERTILITY
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 16
Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been an increase in infertile couples seeking medical help. Fallopian tube block is the most common finding in the female partner. We wanted to determine the predictive value of sonosalpingography (SSG) and hysterosalpingography (HSG) in diagnosing tubal pathology in female partners of infertile couples. METHODS This quasi-experimental study included 30 patients who were studied by SSG and 30 patients who were studied by HSG. All 60 patients underwent diagnostic laparoscopic chromopertubation to confirm the findings. RESULTS HSG has better specificity than SSG in diagnosis of tubal block (90% v/s 56%). CONCLUSIONS SSG is safe, painless, sensitive modality of prediction of tubal pathology. It has low specificity and negative spill should be reconfirmed by HSG or laparoscopic chromopertubation.
