Oil-soluble versus water-soluble media for assessing tubal patency with hysterosalpingography or laparoscopy in subfertile women

Conception in Unilateral Right Tubal Blockage with Herbomineral Formulations: A Case Report

“…1,16 Vanderckhove and associates (2001) observed that the natural conception rate following hysterosalpingography is higher than the spontaneous cure rate of infertility. 17 However, in this case, use of hysterosalpingography investigation to increase the chances of fertility is on the lower side because conception through the right tube may not be possible, either due to tubal distal blockage resulting from peritubal adhesions that prevents the ovum pick up function at the time of ovulation or by creating a mechanical barrier affecting the fertilization. 1,18 The treatment for peritubal adhesions is surgical (i.e., adhesiolysis); however, this patient had no history of adhesiolysis.…”

Hydrotubation In The Management Of Female Infertility: Outcome In Low Resource Settings

“…Other studies (7,8) have reported fertility enhancing effect of tubal flushing especially with oil soluble medium, we used saline solution in our study due to the side effects of oil media and because our intervention was principally for therapeutic reason. Oil media have been associated with persistent contrast medium within the pelvis, allergy or anaphylaxis reaction from intravasation and formation of lipogranuloma on a long term.…”

Review of lipiodol treatment for infertility – an innovative treatment for endometriosis‐related infertility?

“…2 Observational studies, then randomised controlled trials (RCTs) seemed to confirm the fertility benefit of OSCM and the first systematic review of RCTs showed a clear fertility benefit of OSCM versus no intervention. 3 The efficacy appeared more pronounced amongst women with unexplained infertility, 3 and it was speculated that lipiodol might be improving fertility benefit by dislodging nonocclusive but pregnancyhindering debris from otherwise undamaged fallopian tubes. 4,5 The Relative Merits of Lipiodol as a Treatment for Endometriosis-Related and Unexplained Infertility…”
