Progress in transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy.

Reproductive performance is now more than ever determining the choice of treatment for each individual couple. The easy access to ART treatments, their financial benefits, and the relative high success rate per cycle are at the basis of a liberal referral to these treatments without an accurate diagnosis. The easy and comprehensive investigation by a transvaginal endoscopy as a first-line diagnostic procedure allows for an accurate diagnosis and the choice of the most appropriate treatment.

Investigation of the infertile couple: when is the appropriate time to explore female infertility?

While the appropriate method for the investigation of female infertility continues to be debated, the timing of the investigation has received less attention. The current approach is time-consuming, and paradoxically may lead to overtreatment as well as undertreatment. Recent findings on fecundity and the conception window in humans have important implications for the timing of the investigation of female infertility. The findings support the view that fertility-oriented intercourse may have a major impact in reducing the time to pregnancy. Procedures for the investigation of female infertility are becoming less invasive and more accurate, while the therapies for infertility are more effective. It is proposed that under appropriate circumstances female infertility should be investigated after 6 months of fertility-oriented intercourse.
