Abstract: Infertility, affecting between 4 and 17 percent of the population in India, is a significant societal concern. Defined by the World Health Organization as the inability to achieve clinical pregnancy after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse, infertility requires comprehensive evaluation. This study investigates the role of diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy in assessing and managing infertility. Conducted over six months at Vijayanagar Institute of Medical Sciences, Ballari, the study involved infertile women aged 20 to 40 with normal hormone profiles. Among 35 participants, primary infertility was more common than secondary, with ovarian pathologies like polycystic ovarian disease frequently identified through laparoscopy. Hysteroscopy commonly revealed tubal blockages. The study concludes that diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy is a safe and effective method for identifying and correcting infertility-related anomalies, often missed during routine pelvic examinations.
