Introduction: 60 to 80 million couples all over the world can be labelled as suffering from infertility. 25 to 40% cases of infertility are attributed to male factor. Female factors contribute 40 to 45 % in etiology of infertility. Tubal factors contribute to 20 to 40% in female infertility. The aim of this study is to assess tubal factors of infertility using HSG (hysterosalphingography) and diagnostic laparoscopy. Methods: Present study was carried out on 50 infertile women who attended SMGS OPD during a period of 1 year from Oct 2019 to Nov 2020 after recruiting the patients according to inclusion criteria. HSG was carried out and findings were recorded. After that, the patients were subjected to the procedure of diagnostic laparoscopy and the results were recorded in a set proforma. Results: Out of 50 patients, 34 had primary infertility and 16 had secondary infertility. Majority of the patients (32%) belonged to the age group of 25 to 29 years. Duration of infertility was 1 to 5 years in majority of the patients (50%).On HSG, 28 patients had bilaterally patent tubes and 22 had tubal block out of which 7 had hydrosalphinx. On diagnostic laparoscopy, 52% patients had tubal factors in the form of peritubal adhesions, hydrosalphinx and tubo ovarian mass. On chromopertubation, 38 patients had bilaterally patent tubes.12 patients had tubal block on chromopertubation during diagnostic laparoscopy. Conclusion: HSG is the first line diagnostic technique for evaluating tubal patency in female infertility. Diagnostic laparoscopy is a still better option for checking the tubal patency.
