Bello, T. O.
Abstract
Background/Purpose:
The aim of the research was to describe the pattern of tubal pathologies on HSG in patients with infertility.

Results:
Primary infertility was 20% and secondary infertility was 80%. Hydrosalphinges was the most frequent abnormality in patients with infertility involving 28 patients (23.3%).
Conclusion:
The rate of hydrosalphinges seen in both primary and secondary infertility suggests a high rate of pelvic inflammatory disease in our environment.
