Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the value of sonohysterography （SHG）in infertility caused by intrauterine factors. Methods:
Forty-two infertile women, who were suspected with uterine lesions after transvaginal ultrasound, were examined by SHG. The results of SHG were compared with those of hysteroscope and pathological diagnose. Then, the value of SHG in the diagnosis of infertility caused by intrauterine factors was evaluated. Results: Compared with the results of hysteroscope and pathological examination, the general diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound and SHG were 40.48% and 83.33% respectively. The comparison was with a significant difference （P<0.01）.Conclusion: Sonohysterography is a convenient, economic, non-invasive, high accurate diagnostic method. It is of clinical value in routine inspection in patients who were suspected with intrauterine factors.
