Abstract

Parasitic diseases in protozoa are endemic in many countries around the world, especially in developing countries, and infertility is a major burden. Such infections may be infertile through damage to the female reproductive system. There are some parasitic primary animals such as Trichomonasvaginalis which may cause genital tract abnormalities, cervical tumors and tubal and non-anomalous pelvic infections in women. Toxoplasma gondii causes endometriosis, dysplasia of reproductive tract and synthetic disorders such as intrauterine adhesions. Some epidemiological studies are indicate that infections with protozoa in women who suffer secondary infertility are higher than those of healthy controls. Some drugs used to treat giardiasis cause infertility in male rats by inhibiting of spermate in the epididymis, which reduces it’s viscosity.
