| Abstract: | Female infertility is a major public health concern, and viral infections have been suggested as a potential cause. The recent emergence of coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, has raised concerns about their potential impact on female fertility. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the existing literature on the relationship between female infertility and viral diseases, with a particular focus on coronaviruses. A systematic review was conducted using relevant databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Studies published between 2009 and 2023 were included. The Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) tool was used to assess the quality of the studies. Data extraction and synthesis was carried out to summarize the findings. 13 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The review demonstrated that many type viruses including human papillomavirus (HPV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and coronaviruses van affect female reproductive system. Moreover, findings revealed that some viral infections such as HPV and HIV may be associated with female infertility. However, evidence on the effect of coronaviruses on female infertility was limited and inconclusive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
