The article provides information on the ultrasonographic diagnosis of hormonal infertility - of the luteal phase insufficiency (LFI) of the menstrual cycle. A retrospective analysis of the results of transvaginal echography of the uterus and ovaries of 49 women aged 19-36 years was carried out, in whom the fact of ovulation by the same method was established, but pregnancy did not occur. In these women, ovulation was significantly more frequent on the 15th day of the cycle; in the comparative group (CG) of fertile women with a normal menstrual cycle (28 women), ovulation was significantly more frequent (p<0.05) on the 13th day of the cycle.
The average value of the M-echo in the LFI group on the 17th day of the menstrual cycle was 7.8±1.2 mm, in the CG - 12.5±1.1 mm (p <0.01); on the 22nd day - 7.9±1.1 mm and 13.6±1.3 mm (p<0.001), respectively.
Heterogeneous corpus luteum (HCL) on the 22nd day of the menstrual cycle was significantly less common (p<0.001) in women with LFI than in fertile women (7.4±3.6% versus 65.6±8.8). Increased vascularization of the corpus luteum on the next day of ovulation in the LFI group was observed in 34.7±6.8% of cases, and in the CG - in 92.6±5.0%, significantly less frequently than in the CG (p<0.001).
