Background And Objectives: To evaluate the outcomes of using in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI cycle) techniques in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) women and comparing them to women with tubal factor infertility.
Design And Settings: Retrospective cohort study in Royan Institute, Iran.
Patients And Methods: Data from 81 HH patients treated with IVF/ICSI in the period from early 2009 until the end of 2010 were analyzed and compared with treatment results from 89 patients with tubal factor infertility. Moreover, data from the HH patients were analyzed with respect to the age factor. P value < .05 was considered statistically significant. The main outcome measures were implantation, fertilization, pregnancy, and live birth rates.
Results: Despite a higher fertilization rate and higher number of grade A/B embryos transferred in the tubal factor group, the implantation, pregnancy, and live birth rates were found to be similar between the 2 groups (P=.3, P=.1, P=.1, respectively). When the HH patients were evaluated according to the age factor, no significant difference was found regarding outcome parameters (P=.2).
Conclusions: HH women that were treated with IVF/ICSI cycles seem to have a sound potential for pregnancy, even in advanced age patients.

: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is pivotal in delineating tubal pathology, but is associated with pain and exposure to ionizing radiation. This study investigated which reproductive factors predict HSG-identified tubal pathology. : From May 2016 to August 2023, 3322 infertile females with HSG (mean age 33.

Objective: This case report aims to present a rare occurrence of fallopian tube prolapse into the vaginal vault following hysterectomy, underscoring the importance of recognizing this uncommon complication.
Case Report: A 45-year-old woman, with a history of hysterectomy for adenomyosis, presented with symptoms mimicking a vaginal tumor, including persistent discharge, abdominal pain, postcoital bleeding, and weight loss. Imaging raised concerns of malignancy, but surgery revealed a prolapsed fallopian tube with chronic inflammation.
Human fallopian tube organoids provide a favourable environment for sperm motility.

Study Question: Does a human fallopian tube (HFT) organoid model offer a favourable apical environment for human sperm survival and motility?
Summary Answer: After differentiation, the apical compartment of a new HFT organoid model provides a favourable environment for sperm motility, which is better than commercial media.
What Is Known Already: HFTs are the site of major events that are crucial for achieving an ongoing pregnancy, such as gamete survival and competence, fertilization steps, and preimplantation embryo development. In order to better understand the tubal physiology and tubal factors involved in these reproductive functions, and to improve still suboptimal in vitro conditions for gamete preparation and embryo culture during IVF, we sought to develop an HFT organoid model from isolated adult stem cells to allow spermatozoa co-culture in the apical compartment.

Purpose: Characterized as a prevalent sexually transmitted infection, Chlamydia trachomatis is intimately associated with reproductive tract complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility. However, the causal relationships between C. trachomatis infection and reproductive tract complications remain elusive.
