title: Progestogen treatment of uterotubal (cornual) block.
abstract: High dose progestogen was used to treat 112 cases of primary sterility due to uterotubal block, after tuberculosis and cornual myomata were excluded as causes of the condition. The duration of sterility ranged from three to 18 years. Patients were treated for six or 12 months, depending on their responses to the drug. The results of treatment were very favorable; bilateral and unilateral patency was achieved in 74.0% and 11.6% of the patients, respectively. Pregnancy occurred in 42.8% of all cases studied.
