Abstract: This paper explored the application value of transvaginal four-dimensional hysterosalpingography (TVS 4D-HyCoSy) in the diagnosis of tubal patency and contrast medium reflux. 102 cases of female infertility were examined by TVS 4D-HyCoSy and laparoscopy. Laparoscopy confirmed that of the 204 fallopian tubes, 43 were smooth, 89 were distal obstruction and 72 were proximal obstruction. The consistency Kappa of TVS 4D-HyCoSy and laparoscopic diagnosis of fallopian tube was 0.732 (P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy rate of TVS 4D-HyCoSy in the diagnosis of fallopian tube obstruction were more than 80.00%. The incidence of contrast medium reflux in secondary infertility was significantly higher than that in primary infertility (P<0.05). In contrast medium reflux patients, the diagnostic accuracy of TVS 4D-HyCoSy was significantly lower than that of patients without contrast medium (P<0.05). TVS 4D-HyCoSy has a good application value in the judgment of tubal patency and contrast medium reflux, contrast medium reflux has a certain relationship with the type of infertility, the reverse flow of contrast medium affects the diagnostic accuracy of TVS 4D-HyCoSy.
