The realization of the role of the microbiome of the female reproductive tract in health and disease has opened numerous possibilities for the scientific examination of the intertwining role between the human host and its microbiota. The imbalance in the composition of the microbial communities of the vagina and uterus is now recognized as a risk factor for many complications in pregnancy and according to the data from numerous studies, it is possible for this imbalance to play a crucial role in creating a hostile endometrial environment, and therefore, contributing to the etiology of recurrent implantation failure. Nevertheless, our current understanding of these complicated biological phenomena is far from complete, and in the future, there needs to be a systematic and thorough investigation of the diagnosis and therapy of this condition. This will enable scientists who engage in the field of assisted reproduction technologies to accurately identify and cure women in whom dysbiosis hinders the achievement of a healthy pregnancy.
女性生殖道微生物群在健康和疾病中的作用的认识,为科学研究人类宿主与其微生物群之间的相互作用开辟了众多可能性。阴道和子宫微生物群落组成的失衡现在被认为是妊娠许多并发症的危险因素,根据众多研究的数据,这种失衡可能在创造不利的子宫内膜环境中起关键作用,因此,促成反复种植失败的病因。然而,我们目前对这些复杂生物现象的理解还远远不够完整,未来,需要对这种情况的诊断和治疗进行系统而彻底的研究。这将使从事辅助生殖技术领域的科学家能够准确识别并治愈那些微生物群失调阻碍实现健康妊娠的女性。
