Sonographic Co-relation Between Adnexal Masses And Endometrial Thickness In Infertile Females

Co-relation Between Adnexal Masses And Endometrial Thickness

Abstract

Infertility is very common social, economic and medical problem. There are various cause of infertility, adnexal masses and endometrial thickness play a vital role among them if we find out relation between adnexal mass, endometrial thickness and infertility so we will be able to overcome this problem to great cause.

Objectives: To determine the Sonographic co-relation between Adnexal Masses and Endometrial Thickness in Infertile Females

Methods: This Cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at Gilani Ultrasound Center, Lahore, Jamiat Hospital and Green town clinic The University of Lahore. Study duration was 9 months. Sample size was 150 patients. Sampling technique used was convenient sampling. All Infertile Females with adnexal mass, age of 18-45 were included in study. Male with infertility were excluded. Ultrasound machine Toshiba xerio with convex transducer frequency range 2.5 to 5 MHz was used.

Results: Out of 150 patients the mean age was 32 6.33, ± minimum age was 18 and maximum age was 45. The mean endometrial thickness was 0.78mm with standard deviation 0.29, minimum endometrial thickness was .10 cm, maximum endometrial thickness was 1.69 cm. Out of 150 patient's primary infertility was 30% with frequency of 45, and secondary infertility was 70% with frequency of 105. The chi-square test was used between adnexal mass and endometrial thickness shows that there is significant association because them.

Conclusions: Study concluded that there was significant corelation between adnexal masses and endometrial thickness in Infertile Females. Ovaries should not neglected in infertility treatment because they play important role with respect to endometrium. The removal of adnexal masses can improve infertility rate.
