[Hysteroscopy and sperm infection].
After having shown that rate of pregnancies after IVF was higher without sperm infection, the authors demonstrate that the inflammatory aspects of the endometrium (when observed by hysteroscopy) accompany the failures of IVF. At last it exists a positive correlation between endometrial congestion and positive spermculture. Further prospective studies should examine the rate of implantation of women presenting signs of endometrial congestion.
