Assessment of vaginal and endometrial microbiota by real‐time <scp>PCR</scp> in women with unexplained infertility

Abstract

The present study results supported the role of vaginal and endometrial microbiota derangements in unexplained infertility. Many time-consuming and invasive methods are currently used in the diagnosis of infertility. Our study showed that the quantitative determination of lactobacilli/TBM ratio in vaginal specimens, a less invasive and easily obtainable method, could be used as a diagnostic test during the workup of couples with unexplained infertility.
