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.
Background: The role of genital species, genital species, and the most prevalent sexually transmitted bacteria, in male infertility are still not clear. Different reports about the impact of these bacteria on semen quality are controversial.
Objective: This study was proposed to determine the frequency of bacteriospermia in men and investigate the relationship between the presence of these bacteria and semen quality using molecular assay.
Background: Mycoplasmas can cause acute and chronic diseases at multiple sites with wide-range complications and have been implicated as cofactors in diseases. The infections influenced form genital mycoplasmas specifically Mycoplasma hominis and Mycoplasma genitalium potentially affect reproductive disorders, and infertility.
Objective: Isolation and molecular identification of Mycoplasma genitalium from the genital tract of infertile male and vaginal discharge of infertile female referred to Infertility Center of Kerman in 2013.
Background: The present study was conducted to evaluate keratinization as well as nuclear and cytoplasmic changes of oral epithelial cells among smokers, opium addicts and non-smokers through exfoliative cytology technique.
Methods: Smears of buccal mucosa and mouth floor were collected from 300 males (100 smokers, 100 opium addicts and 100 non-smokers). The nucleus and cytoplasm sizes were determined using image analysis software.
