Abstract

Objective- Endometrial thickness <7 mm accepted as a reliable sign of suboptimal implantation potential. Clomiphene citrate (CC) has some negative effects on the endometrium. We evaluated the effect of concomitant administration of oral sildenal and estradiol valerate on endometrial thickness Aim- To compare the combined effect of oral sildenal and estradiol valerate to estradiol valerate alone in patients with clomiphene induced cycles in infertile women on endometrial thickness. Material And Method- This randomized study was conducted on infertile women attending infertility OPD in SN Medical College, Agra over a period of 2 years from January 2019 to December 2020. Infertile patients were randomly divided into two equal groups. In control group, 50 patients were given clomiphene citrate 50 mg daily from D2 to D6 along with estradiol valerate 2 mg thrice daily from 2nd day of the cycle till the day of trigger of ovulation. In study group, 50 patients were given clomiphene citrate 50 mg daily from D2 to D6 along with estradiol valerate 2mg 12 thrice daily plus oral sildenal citrate 25mg every 8 h from 2nd day of the cycle till the day of hCG trigger. Results- The results in this study conrm the superiority of using oral sildenal with estradiol for improving endometrial thickness, vascularity and pregnancy rates. Conclusion- Addition of oral sildenal citrate to estradiol valerate in ovulation induction cycles has better results in improving endometrial thickness, endometrial blood ow and pregnancy outcome as compared to estradiol valerate alone in women with anovulatory infertility
