The retrospective study was conducted on 506 cases of infertile female. Data were analysed statistically. The mechanical cause of secondary sterility originated from genital tract inflammation. 58.84% of cases of inflammation are developed after artificial abortion.

This paper will focus only on the recommendations or guidelines on the evaluation for female infertility. Most of the recommendations were based on the Fertility Assessment and Treatment for People with Fertility Problems Guideline by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence.

Objective: To validate the Filipino Translation of the Fertility Problem Inventory as a measure of infertility-related stress among female infertile patients. Design: Cross-sectional study Setting: Tertiary referral center Study Population: Female infertility patients aged 21-40 years, with at least one year of attempting to achieve pregnancy. Outcome Measures: Patients' infertility-related stress was assessed by written questionnaire using the Filipino translation of the Fertility Problem Inventory. Results: Global stress scores were identical across all ages and educational level attained. increasing number of years trying to conceive has no impact on the global stress scores. Conclusion: The Filipino translation of the Fertility Problem Inventory provides a valid measure of infertility-related stress.

The authors studied on 527 infertile women. All patients were done: clinical examination, spermatogram analysis, hysterosalpingography and quantitative determination of 5 hormones LH, FSH, PRL, E2, A4P. The classification of hormonal causes of female infertility is following: - Primary ovarian failure (POF): 18 cases- 3.42%. - Hyperprolactinemia: 12 cases 2.28%.- Anovulation: 241 cases 45.92%. - Ovulation cycle: 182 cases 34.54%. - Uncomprehensible: 73 cases 13.85%.

One hundred and forty-nine infertile women underwent hysterosalpingography and di-agnostic laparoscopy as a part of their infertility work up at the Kwangju Christian Hospi-tal. The diagnostic value of hysterosalpingography was compared with diagnostic laparos- copy. It was found that hysterosalpingography is a sensitive means to determine tubal pat- ency. However, diagnostic laparoscopy revealed peritubal adhesion in 25.5% of patients, wh- ereas hysterosalpingography made an accurate diagnosis in only 10.5%. And in 61.7% of the cases, there was complete agreement between hysterosalpingogr- aphy and diagnostic laparoscopy. It is concluded that hysterosalpingography is a simple and non-invasive and useful method of assessing the tubal patency, and should remain an integral part of female infert- ility investigation. Diagnostic laparoscopy is a more useful method to evaluate pelvic patho- logy than hysterosalpingography, and thus should always be performed whenever a periton- eal factor is suspected in female infertility.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine the infertility stress, marital intimacy, and marital satisfaction of women under infertility treatment, and to reveal associated factors of marital satisfaction. METHODS: As a descriptive correlation study, data was collected from 174 women under infertility treatment. Data was analysed using χ2-test, t-test, ANOVA, pearson's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. RESULTS: Infertility stress, marital intimacy, and marital satisfaction averaged 3.20±.3 (range of scale 1~5), 3.53±.5, and 3.74±.6, respectively. The marital satisfaction varied with a statistical significance by the spouse's attitude about infertility treatment and financial burden on infertility treatments. Marital satisfaction had a positive correlation with infertility stress (r=.526, p<.001) and marital intimacy (r=.637, p<.001). We also identified the marital intimacy as the most influencing factor and the infertility stress as the second most influencing factor on the infertile women's marital satisfaction. CONCLUSION: This research provided a valuable opportunity to recognize infertility as a marital, family, and societal problem, which calls for relational support as well as personal support. The infertility experts need to recognize both the personal and relational aspects of the infertility problem, and make various efforts to promote the reproductive health of the infertile patients.

Uterine leiomyoma is the most common type of benign tumor in women of reproductive age. This disease is rare before menarche, and its incidence decreases after menopause. Uterine leiomyoma is known to be related to hormonal changes, but the precise underlying mechanism has yet to be determined. Although it is a benign disease, the most common form of management involves surgical intervention. Uterine leiomyoma is also related to infertility and obstetric complications. Here, we present a review of the literature regarding uterine leiomyoma and discuss management of this disease.
