Impact of Ureaplasma urealyticum infection on semen parameters and in vitro fertilization outcomes in infertile men
The study suggests that while male UU infection may adversely affect certain semen parameters, its impact on IVF outcomes-such as embryo quality, pregnancy rates, and neonatal health-appears to be minimal. These findings support the continued use of IVF as a viable and safe option for infertile couples with male UU infection, as it does not significantly influence reproductive or neonatal outcomes.
