HYSTEROSALPHINGOGRAPHIC FINDINGS IN INFERTILE WOMEN: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a valuable radiological procedure for imaging the female reproductive tract. Structural abnormalities on hysterosalpingography (HSG) are among the important factors in the evaluation of female infertility.
Objectives: The study was aimed at reviewing the available literatures on hysterosalphingography findings in infertile women, identifying the missing gap in the subject area, coming up which area of further that will further enhance the role of HSG in the diagnosis of infertility.
Methods: The study was a systemic review that focused on literature on the topic and key wards of research. The references were obtained using a database; IEEE Xplore, EBSCO, Cochrane and MEDLINE. The search terms used were; hysterosalphingography findings, HSG, detection of infertility, fluoroscopic examinations. The inclusion criteria are articles published in English language,
non-duplicated and those that full text are available online.
Result: Eleven articles were considered for the review. Four of the articles were prospective, whereas the other seven were retrospective studies. Ten of the reviewed articles are from Africa and only one is from Asia. The most frequent finding in the reviewed articles on the two continents was bilateral tubal blockage whereas the least frequent finding is associated with the cervix. The majority of the reviewed articles used short study duration, retrospective, or mall sample size. None of the reviewed articles established a relationship between the HSG findings with demographic information or clinical history of the selected subjects.
Conclusion: The findings of the published articles have proven the potentiality of HSG in detecting uterine abnormalities related to infertility. None of the reviewed articles established a relationship between relationship between the HSG findings with demographic information or clinical history of the selected subjects.
