The endometrial microbiome refers to the collection of microorganisms that are normally present inside the uterus. Contrary to older beliefs, the uterus is no longer considered a sterile environment, but one that has its own microbial balance. The predominance of certain “beneficial” bacteria appears to be associated with better endometrial recepti...
MOREIt involves taking a small sample of endometrial tissue, which is sent for microbiological and histological analysis (high-resolution electron microscopy). The assessment is performed directly on uterine tissue—not on vaginal fluid—which allows for more accurate detection of: pathogenic microorganisms chronic endometritis inflammatory changes scar...
MOREHydrosonography, also known as saline infusion sonography, is an examination in which a small amount of saline is infused into the uterus during a transvaginal ultrasound. The saline gently distends the uterine cavity, allowing: better visualization of the inside of the uterus clearer detection of polyps or fibroids identification of adhesions asse...
MOREA transvaginal ultrasound is an ultrasound examination performed with a special thin probe, which is gently inserted into the vagina. This allows for a much clearer and more detailed image of the uterus, endometrium, and ovaries compared with abdominal ultrasound. The examination is painless, lasts only a few minutes, and does not require any speci...
MOREHysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a thin hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix into the uterus, without an incision. The uterine cavity is distended with a special fluid to allow clear visualization of its walls. The examination may be: Diagnostic, when the goal is to evaluate the uterine cavity. Operative (surgical), wh...
MOREHormonal evaluation is a set of blood tests that assess the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, as well as other hormones that affect the menstrual cycle and fertility. Hormones regulate: follicle maturation ovulation endometrial function cycle stability Even minor disturbances in hormonal balance may affect conception or cause an...
MOREOvarian reserve refers to the quantity and, to some extent, the quality of the eggs available in the ovaries at a given point in time. As age increases, ovarian reserve naturally declines. Ovarian reserve assessment is mainly performed through the Antral Follicle Count (AFC). This involves counting the small follicles (antral follicles) that are v...
MOREConventional hysterosalpingography is performed at a radiology center. During the procedure, a special contrast medium is injected through the cervix and flows into the uterus and fallopian tubes. Using radiologic imaging, the path of the contrast is recorded to determine whether the tubes are open or whether there is a blockage. The procedure usu...
