Contraception Cervical Mucus Sperm Penetration in Women on Oral Contraception or with an Iud in Situ
Penetration of cervical mucus by spermatozoa was observed in cycling and infertile women, in women on sequential or combination oral contraceptive medication, and in women with an IUD in situ. _Sperm penetration of cervical mucus varied from women not using contraceptives and from infertile women, to patients taking sequential conception control pills. In cycling women penetration was low in th...
متن کاملMacaque sperm coating protein DEFB126 facilitates sperm penetration of cervical mucus.
BACKGROUND Sperm coating protein beta-defensin 126 (DEFB126) is adsorbed onto the entire surface of macaque sperm in the caudal epididymis and is retained on viable sperm collected from the cervix and the uterine lumen of mated female macaques. We investigated the role of sperm coating protein DEFB126 in cervical mucus penetration (CMP). METHODS Cervical mucus (CM) was collected from peri-ovu...
متن کاملEffect of local infection and oral contraception on immunoglobulin levels in cervical mucus.
The concentrations of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) were estimated in cervical mucus from 115 patients attending a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases. The patients were divided into two groups; those using combined estrogen/progestogen oral contraceptives, and those with presumed normal ovulatory cycles. Gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, candidosis, and herpes genitalis were ...
متن کاملQuantitative sperm mucus penetration: modified formulae for calculating penetration efficiency.
In 1980 Katz et al. derived a formula for the percentage of successful collisions (PSC) as a quantitative measure of sperm-cervical mucus penetration efficiency. The use of PSC waned after its validity was questioned by reports of values >100% and the observation that PSC varied with the cross-sectional area of the mucus column. The aim of the present study was to develop a more accurate measur...
