Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
This paper was mainly conducted to investigate the effect of chronic endometritis (CE) on the clinical outcome of patients with unexplained infertility.
Materials and methods
145 patients with unexplained infertility from the Reproductive Center of our hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were selected as the unexplained infertility group. 42 patients with definite infertility causes were selected as the control group during the same period. Both groups of patients underwent hysteroscopy and immunohistochemical tests for CD38 and CD138. According to the results of hysteroscopy and immunohistochemistry, the incidence of CE between the two groups was analyzed. Patients with CE as CE group accepted oral antibiotic therapy for 14 days. Another 58 patients with unexplained infertility who did not undergo hysteroscopy and immunohistochemical tests for CD38 and CD138 were selected as the unexamined group. Both groups of patients were expected natural pregnancy. Follow-up lasted for 1 year, and the pregnant patients were followed up until delivery.The clinical pregnancy rate, spontaneous abortion rate and baby-carrying home rate of the two groups were compared.
Results
There were 75 patients with CE in the unexplained infertility group, and the prevalence rate was 51.7% (75/145). Compared with the control group (28.6%), the incidence of CE was significantly higher (P < 0.05). After treated with antibiotic treatment, the patients’ clinical pregnancy rate was 61.3% (46/75) and baby-carrying home rate was 60% (45/75) in the CE group, which were higher than those in the unexamined group(43.1% & 36.2%) (P < 0.05), while the spontaneous abortion rate was 2.2% (1/46),which was lower than that in the unexamined group (16.0%) (P < 0.05).
Conclusions
For patients with unexplained infertility, hysteroscopy combined with endometrial immunohistochemical detection of CD38 and CD138 should be performed in time to exclude CE. The clinical pregnancy outcome of CE patients can be significantly improved by antibiotic treatment.
