Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of peritoneal fluid (PF) from patients with endometriosis on capacitated sperm.
DESIGN: Capacitated 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 MEASURES: Sperm motility, sperm membrane integrity, and acrosomal loss were determined.
RESULTS: Statistically, no significant differences were found among the various sperm parameters determined.
CONCLUSION: Peritoneal fluid from patients with endometriosis does not appear to adversely affect capacitated spermatozoa.
