Abstract
Vaginal microecology is a relatively balanced biological environment formed by the interaction between vaginal microorganisms and the human body. The vaginal microbiota is essential for maintaining the normal physiological environment of the host. The vaginal dysbiosis can cause infertility. In-depth discussion of the role and mechanism of vaginal microecology in female infertility has certain clinical significance for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility related to vaginal microecology imbalance. This article reviews the research progress on the relationship between vaginal microecology and infertility at home and abroad in recent years, and aims to provide more effective strategies and solutions for the treatment and prevention of infertility.
Key words:
