A previous caesarean section is not a risk factor for tubal abnormalities in the infertile population.

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the correlation between previous CS history and the risk for having tubal factor infertility. Our results demonstrated that previous caesarean section delivery does not increase the risk for tubal factor infertility in the infertile population, whereas history of other abdominal or gynaecological surgical procedures doubles this risk. What the implications are of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Further research is needed for further evaluation of this association and its clinical implications.
