Comparison of Anterior Uterocervical Angle in Unexplained Primary Infertile and Primigravid Cases

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that narrow angle may prevent sperm passage and thus cause infertility by comparing anterior uterocervical angle (A-UCA) in patients with unexplained infertility and primigravid cases at early gestational week.Material and Methods: This study included 126 cases, including 75 cases of unexplained infertility and 51 cases with a diagnosis of primigravid at early gestational week, who applied to the Van Yuzuncu Yil University Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic between February 2021 and October 2021. A-UCA values of infertile cases were reviewed. Primigravid cases with beta-hCG values of < 1000 mIU/ml were included in the study. A-UCAs were measured with transvaginal ultrasonography and while the bladder was empty.Results: In our study, no statistically significant difference was found between the increase in beta-hCG value and A-UCA value in the pregnant group (p > 0.05). Discussion: It was found that the A-UCA did not show a significant difference between primigravid cases at early gestational weeks and unexplained primary infertile cases.
