Urine fluid beta-endorphin in pelvic schistosomiasis infertility

ABSTRACT

Twenty infertile women with pelvic schistosomiasis and twenty fertile women in the same age group and in the same phase of the menstrual cycle [luteal phase] as a control were enrolled in this work to study the role of uterine fluid beta-endorphin in pelvic schistosomiasis. There was statistically significant difference [P<0.05] in the uterine fluid beta-endorphin between the two groups, but no statisticlally insignificant difference [P>0.05] regarding the serum level. This emphasize the role of local production of beta-endorphin in the uterine fluid and it's role in fertility
