Constant ovulation on the side of an occluded tube treated with human menopausal gonadotropin.
We have presented the case of a woman with unilateral occlusion of a tube ovulated permanently on the same side. The other ovary and tube were intact. To overcome this problem, we gave full menotropic treatment to induce super-ovulation, and the patient became pregnant in the second treatment cycle. We think medical treatment should be attempted before paradoxical oophorectomy is contemplated in women with unilateral occlusion who cannot become pregnant.
