Overview

Systematic review evaluates the negative effects of Mycoplasma hominis on sperm quality in infertile men, suggesting important implications for fertility treatment.

Key Points

  • This research aims to quantify the impact of Mycoplasma hominis infection on various sperm quality parameters among infertile men.
  • Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 11 studies
  • Calculated standardized mean differences and confidence intervals
  • Performed subgroup analysis and evaluated publication bias using Egger's test.
  • Infertile men with M. hominis had significantly lower sperm concentration, motility, viability, and morphology
  • Seminal fluid pH was higher in infected subjects
  • Study location and diagnostic methods contributed to heterogeneity but no significant publication bias was found.
