Although oral contraceptives are protective for ovarian cancer, it is unclear how long this protection persists. The authors prospectively assessed this question as well as associations of other, less studied contraceptive methods (tubal ligation, rhythm method, diaphragm, condoms, intrauterine device, foam, spousal vasectomy) and infertility with ovarian cancer risk among 107,900 participants ...

OBJECTIVES Mycoplasma genitalium has been associated with cervicitis, endometritis, and tubal factor infertility. Because the ability of this bacterium to ascend and infect the fallopian tube remains undefined, we performed an investigation to determine the prevalence of M genitalium in fallopian tube, endometrial, and cervical specimens from women laparoscopically diagnosed with acute salpingi...

A major cause of female infertility is fallopian tube obstruction and traditional conservative and interventional treatments have been largely unsuccessful, especially in patients with distal tubal obstruction. The objective of the current study was to compare the curative outcome of ozone (treatment group) and conventional interventional treatment (comparison group) through comparing the diffe...
