Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of saline-air hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (SA-HyCoSy) with the modified hysterosalpingogram (mHSG) in assessing coil location and tubal blockage after hysteroscopic sterilization in 19 women.
- The results showed that while mHSG had a slightly higher detection rate of tubal occlusion (97.3%) than SA-HyCoSy (92.1% to 94.7%), both methods demonstrated high predictive values and agreement.
- SA-HyCoSy provided advantages such as reducing radiation exposure and improving patient comfort, despite changing coil location interpretation in about half of the cases.
Purpose: Expanded genetic carrier screening (ECS) is an important part of gynecological practice and preconception planning. We evaluated the awareness and attitudes among women regarding ECS and factors that may influence decision-making in a family planning context.
Methods: A 32-question survey in an academic university practice was given to 521 women who were either currently pregnant (n = 108), undergoing gynecologic care who were considering future fertility (n = 308), and considering or receiving fertility treatment (n = 105).
