ASSESSING THE GUT AND VAGINAL MICROBIOME DURING IN VITRO FERTILIZATION PROGRAMS

Abstract

It is now known that the possibility of conceiving and carrying a pregnancy is largely due to the interaction of a woman's macroorganism with microorganisms involved in the formation of the microbiome of the intestine, vagina and other organs. Attempts to treat infertility using in vitro fertilization (IVF) are not always successful. Probably, the disruption of the vaginal and intestinal microbiome can significantly reduce the effectiveness of IVF programs.
