Abstrakt
This research focuses on asymptomatic urogenital infections (Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Chlamydia trachomatis) as a potential cause of infertility. These infections might have a negative impact on fertility by activating pro-inflammatory immune responses in both males and females.
It is assumed that antibiotic treatment (ATB) suppresses the immune reaction, and thus increases the chance of conception. On the other hand, ATB might have a negative impact on the sperm quality.
