Abstract

This chapter has been aimed to highlight the determinants of conception without Assisted
Reproductive technology (ART) in a low-income area. The current study concerned 2958 patients who
sought care for infertility in the University Clinic of Kinshasa et the Centre Medical Edith, from January
2003 to December 2013. For them, any technique of ART was used. After treatment, 249 (9%)
patients conceived (clinical pregnancy). Most of the patients who conceived were less than 36 years,
without history of illegal abortions who suffered from genital infections. The treatments closely
associated with conception were antibiotics (73%), hydrotubation (12%) ovulation inductors (11%) and
gynecologic surgery (4%). In that setting, ART is a must. Very few infertility problems, apart from
infection and itsconsequences, can get solution.
