Summary

Sperm infections negatively impact in vitro fertilization (IVF) success. Endometrial inflammation and congestion are linked to IVF failures and positive sperm cultures, suggesting a need for further research.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Background:

  • Sperm infections have been associated with reduced pregnancy rates following IVF.
  • Endometrial factors play a crucial role in successful embryo implantation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between endometrial inflammation, sperm infections, and IVF outcomes.
  • To explore the correlation between endometrial congestion and positive sperm cultures.

Main Methods:

  • Hysteroscopy was used to assess endometrial inflammatory aspects.
  • Sperm cultures were performed to detect infections.
  • Pregnancy rates after IVF were analyzed in relation to sperm infection status.

Main Results:

  • Pregnancy rates after IVF were higher in the absence of sperm infection.
  • Inflammatory findings in the endometrium, observed via hysteroscopy, were associated with IVF failures.
  • A positive correlation was found between endometrial congestion and positive sperm cultures.

Conclusions:

  • Endometrial inflammation and congestion are potential indicators of IVF failure.
  • Further prospective studies are warranted to evaluate the implantation rates in women with endometrial congestion.
