Role of Transvaginal Color Doppler Sonography in the Surveillance of Stimulated Cycles

Infertility affects about ten percent of couples; female factors account for more than two-thirds of such cases (1). The etiology is diverse and includes such factors as ovulation disorders, tubal and transport disorders, uterine factors and other less prevalent causes like cervical, immunologic and psychosexual disorders (1). With the introduction of transvaginal color Doppler sonography, our understanding of the complex pathophysiological mechanisms underlying infertility and their possible treatment has improved. The recent past has also witnessed a parallel technological revolution in hormone monitoring techniques and endocrinal pharmacology, thereby making assisted reproduction a reality.
