Results: The prevalence of congenital reproductive system anomaly was 4.1% among infertile women. The sub-septate uterus was the most common type (23.24%) anomalies. No significant association was found between the types of the anomaly and the type of infertility. The genetic factor was found to has a significant role in developing such a condition. Success rate after management significantly raised to 61.1% with sub-septate uterus (91.3%) bicornuate/ partial (85.7%), and septate/ complete (72.2%). Conclusion:One of the causative factors of female infertility is congenital anomaly. Most types have a good prognosis in achieving pregnancy after proper management.
