Article Synopsis
  • Urogenital infections, particularly sexually transmitted infections (STIs), may affect fertility, but their exact impact is not well understood, prompting this study to investigate the frequency of STIs in cervical samples from both infertile and fertile women.
  • The research involved collecting cervical samples from 95 women using a cytobrush, followed by PCR tests to identify bacterial and viral pathogens, with statistical analyses highlighting the differences between groups.
  • Results showed a significant difference in HPV infection rates, with HPV-infected women having a higher likelihood of infertility, suggesting the importance of regular screenings for STIs in women of reproductive age, especially those struggling with infertility.

Injection of intraovarian platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was recently presented in terms of improvement ovarian function in women with a poor ovarian response (POR) or primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). In a before and after study, 17 poor responder women and 9 women with the diagnosis of POI were recruited. The multifocal intramedullary infusion of 1.

Background: Aromatase inhibitors prevent the aromatization of androgens into estrogens, which reduces the negative feedback of estrogen on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. It is clear that increasing the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormones results in an increased follicular growth.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding letrozole to gonadotropin on in vitro fertilization outcomes in normal responders.

Background: Embryo transfer (ET) is the last and the most clinical process in assisted reproductive technology cycle. It has been suggested that cervical mucus interacts with an adequate embryo transfer in different ways. A few studies showed that catheter rotation could discharge mucus entrapped in the embryo to neutralize embryo displacement.
