Objective- To evaluate uterine and tubal disease detected on hysterosalpingography in female partner, in couples who have come for evaluation of primary infertility. MATERIALS AND METHODS 84 patients of primary infertility who have undergone hysterosalpingography as a primary evaluation tool has been studied. The patients in the study group were evaluated in relation to the method of entry into the uterine cavity, by Paediatric Foley’s catheter, uterine cavity diseases and tubal diseases. The results are tabulated and correlated with the primary infertility and other related factors. RESULTS Total 84 cases of hysterosalpingography examinations were included in the study. In all cases procedure was done through the paediatric Foley’s catheter. Two patients were diagnosed to have uterine cavity problems and three patients had bilateral tubal block and nine patients had unilateral tubal block.
