This study is testing if there are differences in inflammation markers in the uterine fluid of women with normal uteri compared to those who have had cesarean sections to see how it might relate to infertility and complications.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are women experiencing infertility who are scheduled for a hydrosonography exam to evaluate their uterine and fallopian tube integrity.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with conditions such as hydrosalpinx or those who have undergone surgical correction of a niche may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to investigate the differences in inflammation markers present in fluid aspirated from the uterine cavities of women with intact uteri compared to those who have undergone cesarean sections. Patients will undergo a transvaginal ultrasound to assess uterine integrity, followed by a uterine lavage procedure where sterile saline will be introduced and fluid will be collected for analysis. The collected samples will be snap frozen for immunological analysis to identify potential markers associated with infertility due to nonimplantation and cesarean section complications.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into the underlying causes of infertility related to uterine scarring, potentially leading to improved treatment options.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is relatively novel, similar studies investigating uterine inflammation and its impact on fertility have shown promising results.
