In 257 infertile patients with tubal occlusion, Bactrim restored patency in 40.4% of cases and Tandearil in 34%, significantly outperforming the 25% spontaneous recovery rate observed in untreated controls.

Abstract

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.
