The study was carried out in Unit-III of Gynaecology and Obstetric Department at the Federal Government Services Hospital, Islamabad, Pakistan on 7628 out-patients examined for different problems during a three year period, as 534 women presented for inability to conceive. Frequency of infertility in this population was 7%. A standard protocol of investigations revealed a number of causes for fertility deprivation. Diagnostic laparoscopy was carried out in 260 patients. Hysterosalpingography was performed in 84 women, and tubal blockage was confirmed in 77 patients. Within the Pakistani social set-up, immense pressure mounts up on the newly married couple for child bearing. Proper diagnosis is a must for effective management.
