Infertility caused by infections such as mycoplasma and chlamydia, which were not noticed in the past, has gradually attracted the attention of relevant scholars due to the improvement of current detection levels. Sexually transmitted diseases such as non-gonococcal genital tractitis, which were rare more than ten years ago, especially male and female infertility caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum and Chlamydia infection infertility , is now common, and the incidence rate is increasing year by year. What is particularly worrying is that the vast majority of these patients have no symptoms of infection.
