The bacterial flora of the uterus can play a determining role in the success of assisted reproduction treatments. To analyze it, the endometrial microbiome test has been developed: an innovative technique that analyzes the quantity and type of microorganisms that live in the endometrium and that can influence embryo implantation. In this way, imbalances can be identified and treatments can be personalized to improve the chances of pregnancy.
When it is recommended
The endometrial microbiome test is used especially when there are suspected imbalances in the microbiota of the uterus.
It is also a test indicated when there is no obvious cause of infertility or when there is chronic endometritis.
Advantages
The test makes it possible to detect and treat imbalances in the bacterial flora of the endometrium by obtaining an accurate study of the uterine microbiome of each woman. This helps to adjust treatment and medication according to the specific characteristics of the patient, improving the receptivity of the uterus and reducing embryo implantation failures.
Procedure
It is a simple and uncomplicated procedure that is performed in the gynecologist's office and may cause some slight momentary discomfort.
It consists of inserting a catheter vaginally to extract a small sample of endometrial tissue. The sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis using DNA sequencing techniques to identify the microorganisms present.
Once the results are obtained and if the diagnosis is unfavorable, the gynecologist will prescribe medication, such as antibiotics or probiotics, to correct imbalances, optimize the condition of the endometrium and improve the chances of successful treatment.
