[The value of hysterosalpingographic findings in sterility investigations (author's transl)]. 1981

I Brolin, and I Berlin

In the material presented, at least 117 women examined with hysterosalpingography became pregnant. Most of the pregnancies (68%) occurred within one year after the radiological examination. Clinical data is failing in many of the other cases, but 66 women were still infertile more than three years after the examination. The hysterosalpingographic findings of a group who got pregnant without any surgery and delivered at full term (73 patients) have been compared to the group of women still infertile and with a healthy partner (50 patients) and with another group of women, whose pregnancies ended in abortion (19 patients). No radiological signs is seen only in one of the groups but pathological changes of the oviducts are more common in the infertility group. Extreme positions of the uterus, irregularities of the cervical canal etc show no difference between the groups. Such findings in the uterus and the cervical canal are of no prognostic value.
