Unexplained Infertility

Keywords
Ovulation, semen analysis, tubal patency, pelvic ultrasound scan
Brief summary
Retrospective study, including patients from january 2013 to december 2018, who were diagnosed with unexplained infertility : spontaneously ovulating women with normal pelvic ultrasound scan, patent tubes on hysterosalpingography and normal pelvic exam or pelvic MRI normal. Semen analyses were normal according to the World Health Organization criteria. Couples were referred for diagnostic laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. They were then addressed for spontaneous fertility or ART to conceive. The investigators would like to see how many surgeries were useful to assess a diagnostic, and if operating allows a satisfying pregnancy rate. The investigators would like to assess how many diagnosis was done after surgery and how many pregnancy were obtained. The investigators search other prognostic factors than age or parity.
Interventions
PROCEDURELaparoscopy-hysteroscopy
Under general anesthesia, we start by a first look in laparoscopy, to look for endometriosis mainly, tubal infertility, ovarian cysts or any abnormalities that may not have been suspected on the first exam. Then we check tubal patency after a look at the uterine cavity by hysteroscopy. Then we treat everything possible to treat to improve fertility, spontaneous or with ART.
