[The effect of Bactrim and Tandearil on abnormal tubal patency in cases of infertility (author's transl)]

In 257 patients with primary or secondary infertility, tubal occlusion or impeded tubal patency was found. The patients received Bactrim or Tandearil and the tubal patency was retested. In a control group of 74 cases, 2 tubal patency tests were done without treatment. Following treatment with Bactrim, 40,4% of the previously occluded fallopian tubes were patent. Following treatment with Tandearil, 34% of the previously occluded tubes were patient. In the non-treated group, 25% of the cases showed tubal patency at the second patency test. The results were more striking for the cases with impeded tubal patency. The success rate was 73,3% following treatment with Bactrim, 50% following treatment with Tandearil and 26,7% in the untreated control group.
