Popis:	Objective: Female infertility may be a commonly encountered problem that presently accounts for a great percentage of women seeking gynecologic services. A systematic review was preformed to evaluate the most common cause of infertility, using sonography. Materials and Methods: A search was executed with Google Scholar, PubMed, NCBI, and Medscape databases, from 2001 to 2020. Two investigators independently reviewed and assessed those studies for eligibility. The data were tabulated in a Microsoft Excel sheet. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 24 software was used to evaluate the data. Results: Out of 70 studies, the contributing factors, detected with sonography, for infertility were as follows: polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), 44.9%; fibroids, 43.6%; endometriosis, 33.3%; polyps, 29.5%; adhesions, 29.5%; pelvic inflammatory disease, 23.1%; ovarian cysts, 23.1%; congenital anomalies, 20.5%; and adenomyosis, 11.5%.
