Abstract

 This study is being carried out with the aim to get the effect of Uttarbasti on Bandhyatva w.s.r. to tubal blockage. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is selected as a screening investigation to diagnose the tubal blockage. HSG has been performed in total 51 cases till date which has shown the incidence of tubal blockage in the same range (34%), as it is known to be responsible for infertility (30%-40%). Bilateral tubal blockage was diagnosed in 14% infertile women while unilateral tubal blockage was found in 19.6% infertile women. With the help of HSG many other uterine anomalies were also detected as the responsible factor or the associated factor of infertility. Problems and complications which arose during and after procedure of HSG were documented and some Ayurvedic drugs and procedures were used to correct them. Most of the problems subsided and no significant complication was reported during the follow up period of one month. Though HSG is a part of the main study which is regarding the Uttarbasti on tubal blockage, so many valuable experiences were gained by performing the HSG. These experiences are significant and worth publishing. The small sample data of 51 cases collected in last 07 months is present here, but there is a definite possibility of the enhancement of knowledge and collection of new facts in due course of study.
