PURPOSE: Our purpose was to examine the effect of treated mild pelvic disease on the outcome of superovulation with intrauterine insemination (SO/IUI). METHODS: Three hundred cycles of SO/IUI were retrospectively reviewed for 118 women with laparoscopically treated minimal/mild endometriosis and 67 cycles for 28 women with minimal/mild distal tubal disease/adnexal adhesions and compared with 265 cycles in 111 couples with idiopathic infertility. RESULTS: The monthly fecundity rate (MFR) of 6.8% and live birth rate (LBR) of 6% in the endometriosis group were significantly lower (P = 0.002) than those in the idiopathic infertility group (MFR = 13.5%, LBR = 12.1%). The 10.9% MFR and 7.5% LBR in the minimal/mild tubal/adnexal disease were not significantly different from those in the other two groups. CONCLUSIONS: MFR and LBR were higher after SO/IUI in idiopathic infertility compared to those for treated mild/minimal endometriosis or mild/minimal tubal/adnexal adhesions. However, SO/IUI still remains a reasonable option for both these groups prior to IVF-ET. |
