Abstract :
Female infertility is a public health
problem by the WHO. Several couples around the world
are faced with this problem, a real psychosocial drama.
Medical and surgical history, hormonal disorders are its
main contributing factors. Currently, several treatment
options are possible.
Patients and method:- Descriptive cross-sectional study,
including 119 patients followed in the gyneco-obstetrics
department for the desire of motherhood. It extends over
a period of 2 years. Age, marital status, contributing
factors, gyneco-obstetrical history, type of infertility,
different treatments offered and treatment outcome were
our main variables of interest.
Results:- The overall frequency of female infertility was
37.5%. Women aged 30 to 34 and married women were
the most affected. Ovulatory disorders were the most
common etiology with a clear predominance of
secondary infertility. Cystectomies and clandestine
abortions were among the most found factors. The
gynecological ultrasound was the main investigative
workup because of the impossibility of performing other
examinations. Of all the patients treated, only 23 women
had conceived after the treatment.
Conclusion:- Infertility is a serious problem for couples
in our circles. The university clinics of Uélé are faced
with a problem of investigation and its success rate
remains low.
Keywords :
Epidemiological and clinical profile, female infertility.
