Women Infertility In USG An Overview In Management
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Infertility is described as a lack of ability to achieve pregnancy after a long time of unprotected sexual intercourse. Infertility also known as sterility means incapable to conceive a pregnancy after a long time of intimacy. The first imaging modality of choice for evaluating possible causes of female infertility is ultrasound.
Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate female infertility by using ultrasonography.
Methods: All the articles included in this study was taken from the PubMed, Google Scholars and Research gate was published after 2010. The selection criteria of these articles were based on the use of ultrasonography in the evaluation of infertility in women.
Results: As a result, this review noted that polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) was the most common cause of infertility that was found with ultrasound imaging.
Conclusion: This review of literature concluded that in the diagnosis of female infertility, ultrasound is the most accessible and practical method for identifying female reproductive system abnormalities. Furthermore, when combined with transvaginal sonography, it can improve accuracy and be a useful screening tool.
