Peritoneal fluid from women with endometriosis impairs human spermatozoa functionality.

The success of mammalian fertilization depends largely on spermatozoa physiological events. However, the manner in which endometriosis influence morpho-functional spermatozoa biomarkers is poorly defined. Here, we studied in vitro the effect of peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with endometriosis (PFE) and non-endometriosis (PFNE) on spermatozoa parameters.
