What to watch with CRP Entzündung and Fruchtbarkeit?

CRP (C-reactive protein) is a non-specific marker of systemic inflammation. Elevated CRP levels have been associated with reduced fertility in both women (e.g., endometriosis, PCOS, implantation failure) and men (e.g., impaired sperm quality). However, the evidence is largely observational; causality is not firmly established. CRP itself does not cause infertility but reflects underlying inflammatory processes. Measuring CRP can be a useful screening tool, but it should not replace comprehensive fertility evaluation. Lifestyle factors (diet, exercise, stress) influence both CRP and fertility. MyBody-X offers CRP testing, but its clinical utility for fertility is not validated in published studies. Caution: a normal CRP does not rule out fertility issues, and an elevated CRP is not diagnostic. Evidence grade: human-observational/mixed.
