Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and Infertility: A Cross‐Sectional Study Exploring Its Prevalence and Effects in Iranian Couples
Our findings align with previous studies reporting moderate HPV prevalence rates (15%-25%) in infertile populations globally, emphasizing the potential role of HPV in reproductive dysfunction. While HPV's impact on sperm quality and endometrial receptivity may contribute to infertility, further research is needed to clarify causal relationships. Vaccination and targeted screening strategies could mitigate HPV-related risks and improve reproductive outcomes.
