Abstract
Introduction: Secondary infertility is usually defined as the inability to conceive for one year after having conceived at least once before. Globally 10–15% of the couples are infertile and the secondary infertility out numbers primary infertility. In developing countries, Secondary infertility is mostly attributed to tubal and tubo-ovarian factors. This paper presents results on various laparoscopic abnormalities associated with secondary infertility. Methodology: A hospital based cross sectional prospective study, was conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, in Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur, Rajasthan, from Jan 2019 to Nov 2019, which included 50 cases of secondary infertility undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy. Demographic data (age, area and religion) and laparoscopic findings (pelvic, uterine, tubal and ovarian abnormalities followed by chromo pertubation test) were recorded and analysed using appropriate statistical tests. Result: The most common abnormality seen in our patients was pelvic adhesions and uterine congestion. Peritubal adhesions and inflammation was the major tubal factor responsible for secondary infertility and chromopertubation test was seen positive bilaterally in maximum patients. Conclusion: Problem of infertility is on a rising trend. Endoscopic evaluation of the pelvic and intrauterine factors is indispensable for infertility evaluation. It helps in diagnosis as well as treatment at the same sitting.
