RESUMO
La infertilidad ha aumentado al nivel mundial como consecuencia del incremento de las infecciones de transmisión sexual y la enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica, que dejan como secuelas la obstrucción de las trompas uterinas, además de otros factores asociados como las infecciones vaginales, el aborto provocado y sus complicaciones infecciosas. Se realizó un estudio observacional, retrospectivo, analítico, con el objetivo de determinar la relación de los factores de riesgo de conducta sexual y las enfermedades infecciosas ginecológicas con la obstrucción tuboperitoneal, en pacientes atendidas en consulta de infertilidad, en el periodo de enero 2001 a diciembre 2013. Como resultados se obtuvo que predominaron las pacientes con factores de riesgo en el grupo con obstrucción tuboperitoneal, lo que confirmó la asociación de las enfermedades infecciosas ginecológicas y los factores de riesgo de conducta sexual con esta causa de infertilidad.
Infertility has increased globally as a result of the increase in sexually transmitted infections and pelvic inflammatory disease, which left as sequels obstruction of the fallopian tubes, and other associated factors such as vaginal infections, induced abortion and its complications infectious. An observational, retrospective, analytical study was performed in order to determine the relationship of the risk factors of sexual behavior and gynecological infectious diseases with tuboperitoneal obstruction in patients seen in the infertility consultation from January 2001 to December 2013. As a result, it was found that patients with predominant risk factors in the group with obstruction tuboperitoneal, confirming the association of gynecological infectious diseases and risk factors of sexual behavior with the cause of infertility.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The role of mycoplasmas on the development and sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease remains controversial. The objective of the present study is to correlate directly the presence of Mycoplasmateceae through polimerase chain reaction (PCR) determinations in cervix and Fallopian tubes of infertile patients with tubo-peritoneal factor diagnosed through laparoscopy. METHODS: Thirty patients with tubo-peritoneal infertility and 30 normal fertile patients were included in the study; cervical samples and tubal flushings were obtained during laparoscopy. PCR determinations for the detection of genetic material of Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealiticum, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Trichomonas vaginalis in cervix and tubal flushings were performed. RESULTS: No Mycoplasmataceae species as "only" microorganisms were found in tubal flushings of tubo-peritoneal infertility patients, whereas three (10%) fertile patients with normal tubes were positive for mycoplasma presence. This difference was not significant (p = 0.237). Among the 30 patients suffering from tubal infertility diagnosed through laparoscopy, Mycoplasmatecae species were not detected in the Fallopian tubes by PCR determinations, while in normal tubes from fertile patients these and other microorganisms could be found without distorting tubal anatomy. CONCLUSION: Mycoplasmateceae species were not detected in Fallopian tubes of women with tubo-peritoneal infertility.
