Abstract

  Some of the causes of female infertility were work out in details however now we have understood the unexplained cause of infertility and that is the presence of microbiota in female reproductive tract. Like imbalance of gut microbiota causes health hazards in the same way altered milieu of endometrial and vaginal microbiota may the hidden cause of female infertility. Now this factor should also be considered for infertility treatment.

Keywords: Infertility; Pregnancy; Lactobacillus
