Abstract

Transvaginal ultrasound and color Dopplers are inevitable part of infertility evaluation. It is a single and most accurate noninvasive test that gives more information than any other investigation. Complete cycle assessment of infertility should consist of transvaginal color Doppler study which reflects the hormonal changes precisely occurring during the menstrual cycle. There are changes in the flow velocity patterns of the uterine and ovarian arteries during the normal ovulatory menstrual cycle. Because these changes in flow velocity begin before ovulation, it can be suspected that they may involve angiogenesis as well as hormonal factors. The changes noted in these studies are statistically significant but may be too small to be used as a diagnostic tool in the study of infertility problems
