[The assessment of the clinical and microbiological status of the lower genital tract in women with sterility].

The study was carried out on 40 randomly selected patients with sterility, in whom microbiological examination of the lower genital tract was performed. Pathogenic microorganisms were isolated in the vaginal secretion of 10 out of 26 patients with primary sterility, but in the cervical secretion in 8 out of 26 women. Similar finding was found in 5 patients out of 14 patients with secondary sterility. The obtained results were compared with the complaints of women and their gynecological examination. Attention is paid again to the necessity of complex evaluation on the character of microbiological flora in view of the frequent usage of invasive methods in diagnosis and treatment of sterility.
