Abstract

Background of the study: Globally the incidence of infertility is increasing. Infertility affects 10-15% of couple of reproductive age group. 12% of the female population of reproductive age were reported infertile in 2002 national survey of family growth. Infertility is a social stigma and psychological trauma to the couple. The couple should undergo battery of investigations to diagnose their cause for infertility. Most of the time, the work up is cumbersome and time consuming. Once diagnosis is achieved treating that cause takes some more time. To avoid this problem we need a proper test to diagnose and treat the problem early. Diagnostic hystero-laparoscopy is such a type of test to diagnose accurately and to treat properly at the same time.
Aim of the study: The Primary aim of the study is to detect the anatomical abnormalities in the reproductive organs in infertile women by doing diagnostic hystero- laparoscopy, and also to compare the results with other modalities of diagnostic procedures like hysterosalpingography, transvaginal ultrasonography, Secondary aim is to treat the anomalies while doing hystero-laparoscopy.
