title: [Hysteroscopy in women with reproductive problems].
abstract: Authors discuss the potentialities of hysteroscopy in revealing the causes of sterility and infertility.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  to establish the most common hysteroscopic findings in women with reproductive problems and the results of the performed hysteroscopic procedures.
  
  
  METHODS
  prospective study.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Out of 360 hysteroscopic operations, 76 have reproductive problems (sterility, spontaneous abortions, premature deliveries). In the group of women with primary sterility the most common findings were endometrial polyps (56.8%) and submucous myomas (31.8%); in the group with secondary sterility - intrauterine synaechia (50.0%) and corpus alienum (25.0%); patients with habitual abortions had most frequently uterine septum (46.7%). Postoperative follow up of 44 women showed 72.7% reproductive success after the hysteroscopic procedures.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  For women with reproductive problems, hysteroscopy is a reliable method for almost 100% detection of the intrauterine pathology and for, in a great extend, of its elimination.
