Abstract

Background: Infertility affects about 10-15% of couples, with tubal factors contributing to nearly one-third of female infertility cases. HSG remains the first-line imaging modality for evaluating uterine and tubal pathology, while FTR provides a minimally invasive treatment for proximal tubal block. Methods: This prospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Government Medical College, Nagpur, over 18 months (January 2023-June 2024). Sixty infertile women meeting inclusion criteria were evaluated using HSG. Cases with proximal tubal block were selected for FTR. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21, with p0.05). Conclusions: HSG is a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for initial evaluation of tubal patency. FTR is a safe and effective therapeutic procedure for managing proximal tubal obstruction, improving fertility outcomes, and reducing the need for more invasive interventions.
