“…Oligospermia and azoospermia were the main male factors of infertility in this study, and conventional treatment was not successful for 213 (11%) of the 224 men (11.5%) who had one of these conditions and no other factor. Poor treatment outcome in such groups of people has been documented by previous authors [14,15].…”

“…However, there is a worldwide variation in its incidence, being highest in the so-called infertility belt of Africa, which includes Nigeria [5]. This has been attributed to high rate of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), complications of unsafe abortions and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) [6]. Institutional-based studies in some parts of Nigeria have reported the incidence of infertility as 15.4% [4], 15.7% [7], 23.9% [8], 32.0% [9] and 48.1% [10].…”

Background: Gynaecological disorders are a particularly common cause of morbidity and mortality among women of reproductive age and a common cause of hospital presentation/admission and surgery. Objective: This study sought to review gynaecological diagnoses and surgeries performed in a tertiary health facility from 2012 to 2017 and its implication for healthcare planning and budgeting. Methodology: This was a retrospective review of all gynaecological diagnoses and surgeries seen in the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH) from 2012 to 2017. Data were retrieved using a proforma comprising of year, gynaecological diagnosis and gynaecological surgeries. Data obtained was entered into Microsoft Excel for descriptive analysis. Results: The proportion of clinic attendees declined from an average of 23% in the first three years (2012)(2013)(2014) to about 10% in the last three years (2015)(2016)(2017). The most common Awoyesuku et al.; JAMMR, 32(2): 1-10, 2020; Article no.JAMMR.54616 2 gynaecological diagnosis were uterine fibroid (33.3%), infertility 28.1% (primary 5.7%, secondary 22.4%), PID (5.9%), ovarian tumour (4.2%), secondary amenorrhea (3.4%) and pelvic malignancies (3.4%). The commonest major surgeries were myomectomy 441(33.7%), salpingectomy 345(26.4%), hysterectomy 168(12.8%) and cervical cerclage 122(9.3%). The commonest minor surgeries were manual vacuum aspiration 314(41.0%), examination under anaesthesia and biopsy 110(14.3%) and adhesiolysis for synechiae 97(12.6%). The duo of uterine fibroid and infertility made up 50%-70% of all gynaecological diagnoses. Conclusion: This study showed that there has been a steady decline in gynaecological consultations over the years. However, the duo of uterine fibroid and infertility made up half to three-quarter of all gynaecological diagnoses over the 6 years. Infertility and uterine fibroids have a long cause and effect association. Healthcare policies and budgeting should be increased towards tackling these conditions, especially the setting up of a fertility center to provide assisted reproductive technologies and laparoscopy to improve practice and patient outcome.
