(1) Background: Infertility is a disease that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Intrauterine lesions are common in infertile women, hysteroscopy being considered the gold standard for assessing them, even if in routine clinical practice indirect imaging techniques are the first-line investigative tools. The aim of the study was to evaluate hysteroscopic findings among women with unexplained infertility and to analyze fertility outcomes after operative hysteroscopy; (2) Methods: a retrospective cohort study was conducted among 198 women with infertility that had undergone hysteroscopy as the first step of their infertility workup. (3) Results: The median age of the participants was 34 years, 67.7% of them being diagnosed with primary infertility. The most common abnormalities were endometrial polyps, uterine synechiae and uterine fibroids. In addition, pregnancy rates were 23.1% after hysteroscopic polypectomy, 11.1% after hysteroscopic myomectomy and 23.8% after uterine synechiae resection; (4) Conclusions: Endometrial polyps were the most common uterine abnormality found in women with infertility. Hysteroscopic interventions appeared to increase pregnancy rates and outcomes among these women.
(1)背景:不孕症是一种影响全球数百万人的疾病。子宫内病变在不孕女性中很常见,宫腔镜检查被认为是评估这些病变的金标准,即便在常规临床实践中,间接成像技术才是一线检查工具。本研究的目的是评估不明原因不孕症女性的宫腔镜检查结果,并分析宫腔镜手术后的生育结局;(2)方法:对198例不孕症女性进行了一项回顾性队列研究,这些女性将宫腔镜检查作为不孕症检查的第一步。(3)结果:参与者的中位年龄为34岁,其中67.7%被诊断为原发性不孕症。最常见的异常情况是子宫内膜息肉、子宫粘连和子宫肌瘤。此外,宫腔镜下息肉切除术后的妊娠率为23.1%,宫腔镜下肌瘤切除术后为11.1%,子宫粘连切除术后为23.8%;(4)结论:子宫内膜息肉是不孕女性中最常见的子宫异常情况。宫腔镜干预似乎能提高这些女性的妊娠率和生育结局。
