Abstract
ObjectiveTo determine the effects of peritoneal fluid (PF) from patients with endometriosis on capacitated sperm.DesignCapacitated donor sperm were allowed to migrate into straws filled with pooled PF from patients with unexplained infertility without endometriosis (n = 4) and those with mild (n = 4) and moderate-severe (n = 4) endometriosis, respectively, for 3 hours.Main outcome measuresSperm motility, sperm membrane integrity, and acrosomal loss were determined.ResultsStatistically, no significant differences were found among the various sperm parameters determined.ConclusionPeritoneal fluid from patients with endometriosis does not appear to adversely affect capacitated spermatozoa.
