Infertility or the inability of a female to conceive despite 12 months or more of unprotected coital exposure can be due to several factors including uterine anomalies, tubal anomalies, and hormonal imbalance among others.&#13;
Aims and Objectives: The scope of this study includes impact of Uterine Anomalies on primary infertility.&#13;
Materials and Methods: The study includes evaluation and investigation of 100 cases of infertile females and women with bad obstetric history over a period of 3 years from 2007 to 2009 in Gandhi Hospital, Secunderabad, Telangana. A detailed history for every complaint in all the cases was taken by the in charge gynaecologist.&#13;
Results: In the present study the bicornuate uterus predominates with 40% (4 cases out of 100). Septate uterus and uterus didelphys were observed in 2 cases each (20%), whereas arcuate uterus and unicornuate uterus were observed in 1 case each (10%).&#13;
Conclusion: It is pertinent to note that, a fairly high incidence of bicornuate uterus and uterus didelphys with poor reproductive outcome in the present study provokes a challenge in terms of management protocol on account of its morbidity and demands a meticulous antenatal surveillance. Considering the low socioeconomic and rural background in most of the cases in this study, it is worthwhile to investigate whether nutritional and environmental factors play a role in the genesis of the reproductive system.&#13;
