[Fertility of females with abnormalities of the uterus].

In 209 females examined with hysterosalpingography indications for examination were fertility disturbances in 131 cases, inspection of operation scar after caesarean section in 42 cases, repeated failure of intrauterine device in 9 cases and other causes in 27 cases. Development malformations of the uterus were observed in 54 females (25.8%), which comprised 40 cases with fertility malfunctions and 14 cases who had been delivered of before. The high percentage of women, who, in spite of malformations of the uterus, were delivered either spontaneously or by means of the caesarean section of live children leads to the following conclusions: 1. The occurrence of uterine malformations is more frequent than the incidence in women examined because of fertility malfunctions would indicate. 2. Uterine malformations in women who had been delivered were not always diagnosed. 3. The occurrence of repeated failure of intrauterine device coincides conspicuously with the occurrence of uterine malformations. The diagnosis of developmental malformations of the uterus cannot be always the cause of infertility.
