Asherman Syndrome: Intra uterine adhesion
(srepeated curettage, severe endometritis, scars of uterine surgery).
Decreased amount of blood loss during menstruation.
Can be diagnosed easily using hysterosalpingogram.

Fibroids:
Benign uterine tumor .
“Adenomyosis They usually do not cause
infertility unless it affects the intrauterine cavity in an obvious way, but if no other reason for infertility
can be found, it is better to do myomectomy (excision of the fibroid ) and restore the
intrauterine cavity. Myomectomy can be done either by Hysteroscopic
resection or by laparotomy ‘’

Fibrosis may happen after Endometritis and can be diagnosed using HSG, hysteroscopy can help in
treatment.

Endometrial polyp: Its presence mimics IUCD, polyps can be diagnosed by HSG, ultrasound or hysteroscopy then polypectomy (removing the polyp) can be done easily.

Chronic Pelvic Infections
Fimbral End Destruction
Adhesions
Short tubes
Tubal Tumors
Tubal Cause Of Infertility www.layyous.com
Chronic Pelvic Infections:
Cause tubal congestion. Obstruction (>3cm ) results in impeding of the oocyte
transfer, May result in pelvic adhesions that will affect tubal
movement. Slowing it so inappropriate time for oocyte transfer interferes
with fertilization. Tubal occlusion or pelvic adhesions that cause inability for
the fimbrial ends to catch the oocyte from the ovary or as mentioned before abnormal movement of the tubes and oocyte transfer.
Causes for PID include infections with E.coli, or Gonococcus infection (STD) PID affects ovarian function and tubal movement
www.layyous.com
Destruction of the fimbrial ends : Disabling its function in catching oocytes into the tubes, PID or endometriosis can cause this.
Adhesions: Caused by tubal surgery done for ectopic pregnancy, pelvic surgery done to the tubes or due to appendicitis.
Tubal Tumors affecting it's function.Short tubes (less than 4cm).

"Endometriosis Is Presence of Endometrial Tissues Outside Endometrial Cavity"
Affects pregnancy either by forming chocolate cyst (endometrioma) or by causing adhesions.Diagnos -Laparoscopy Treatment:Laparoscopic adhesiolysis, Cauterization of endometriotic spots,Salpingostomy and reanastomosis of fallopian tube problems.

Stress and worries changes in internal hormones ,decreased cervicalsecretions or muscular spasm, including those lining fallopian tubes causingits obstruction, or muscles lining the vagina causing dyspareunia.
