Abstract

The primary goal of this research is to quantitatively analyze the relationship between aberrant HSG results and infertility outcomes in our customers. This study intends to reaffirm and emphasize the significance of this method of inquiry and its enormous value in our routine practice of treating infertile couples, particularly in environments with limited resources. Infertility is a major morbidity for couples across all age groups and societies. Infertility is a common reproductive health problem defined as the failure to achieve a pregnancy after one year of unprotected, regular sexual intercourse (according to World Health Organization). Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a basic investigation for an infertile lady. We assessed the findings and outcome of HSG over one year at our tertiary care centers.  Bilateral patent fallopian tubes and normal uterine cavity were the commonest finding. Pain was the commonest complication in the procedure. Going for diagnostic Hystero-laparoscopic was the commonest surgical intervention following HSG. Starting ATT was the commonest medicine intervention. ART Treatment involved starting intrauterine insemination cycle following HSG. Spontaneous conception was a welcome outcome in a selected subset of patients. HSG is a low-cost, OPD-based investigative method. It is a useful test for determining infertility, particularly in environments with limited resources. It is a first step in directing additional therapy for an infertile couple. A well-timed and well-exposed video can provide a wealth of information on the treatment choices for this illness.
