Several factors have been claimed to increase
the risk of tubal infertility. These include repeated
episode of salpingitis(7,11), sexually transmitted
diseases, multiple sexual partners, early age at sexual
intercourse, race, socio-economic and marital status,
and abdominal or pelvic surgeries(3,4). The present
study revealed that 10.54% of the study subjects
(78 from 740 cases) presented with risk factors of
tubal infertility prior to recruitment into the present
study. Further analysis (data not shown) indicated
that there was no difference in the distribution of
these risk factors between the patients with normal
fallopian tubes and those with tubal abnormalities.
The descriptive nature of the present study, however,
precludes the possibility to evaluate the association
between these factors and the occurrence of tubal
abnormalities. Further study using a case control
design, thus, is required to overcome the limitations
of the present study.
