Endometrial microbiome test
The importance of bacterial flora.
What is the endometrial microbiome test?
An innovative technique that allows us to analyse the composition of microorganisms that live in the endometrium and that can influence embryo implantation. By evaluating this bacterial flora and microorganisms we can identify imbalances and personalise treatments to improve the chances of pregnancy.
When is it used?
To investigate imbalances in the uterine microbiome
That could affect the ability of the endometrium to allow embryo implantation.
When there are no obvious causes of infertility
As it can reveal underlying factors.
In case of chronic endometritis
To assess the presence and type of micro-organisms.
Benefits of undergoing a microbiome test
It allows treatments to be tailored to the specific characteristics of each patient’s uterine microbiome.
Helps detect and treat imbalances in the bacterial flora of the endometrium that could affect the receptivity of the uterus.
May reduce embryo implantation failures.
How is it done?
A catheter is inserted into the uterus and a small sample of endometrial tissue is removed and sent to the laboratory for analysis using DNA sequencing techniques to identify the microorganisms present in the sample. The removal is performed in the gynaecologist’s consultation room and may cause some discomfort, but it is brief and mild.
What information do the results provide?
The gynaecologist may recommend personalised treatments including medication, such as antibiotics or probiotics, to correct any imbalances, optimise endometrial conditions and improve the likelihood of successful treatment.
