Resumen
Objetivo: Describir el perfil clínico y epidemiológico de las pacientes con infertilidad atendidas en la Clínica de Infertilidad Conyugal del Hospital Universitario Profesor Edgard Santos (HUPES). Métodos: Se trata de un estudio transversal basado en registros médicos de pacientes con infertilidad atendidas en la clínica, considerando aspectos sociodemográficos y clínicos. Los datos fueron tabulados y analizados con Microsoft Excel 365. Resultados: Se analizaron 214 pacientes con infertilidad, con una edad media de 35,99 años. El 24,8% tenía sobrepeso y el 23,4% eran obesas. Además, el 32,4% eran sedentarias y el 22,4% consumían alcohol. Las principales causas de infertilidad femenina fueron el síndrome de ovario poliquístico, la obstrucción tubárica, los miomas uterinos y la endometriosis. Factores de infertilidad masculina y femenina coexistían en el 28,7% de los casos. La mayoría había tenido embarazos previos, con un 74,48% que presentó al menos un aborto. La duración media de la infertilidad fue de 5,8 años. Conclusión: La mayoría de las pacientes con infertilidad tenía 35 años y presentaba sobrepeso u obesidad. Las principales etiologías coincidían con la literatura y los factores masculinos y femeninos coexistían con frecuencia.
