Histopathological study of endometrium in infertility.
A study of 200 cases of primary and secondary infertility was carried out in the department of pathology, Dr. V.M. Medical College, Solapur. Endometrial specimens were evaluated in the light of menstrual history to find out the incidence of various endometrial changes in cases of infertility. All cases underwent endometrial biopsy premenstrually. Haematoxylin and eosin staining was done for dating of endometrium and diagnosis of corpus luteal defect and anovalutory cycles. PAS stain was done in 50 cases of infertility with control of 25 cases to detect the amount of glycogen. Menstrual problems were seen in 38.2% of patients. Anovulatory infertility was present in 28.2% cases. Luteal phase defect was seen in 20% cases. Cystoglandular hyperplasia was seen in 1.7% cases & tuberculous endometritis was present in 2.6% cases. Glycogen deficiency was seen in 30% cases of luteal phase defect.
