Medical science currently identifies the microbiota as a leading actor in the success of human reproduction.
The balance of the microorganisms that inhabit the female body regulates essential processes that range from follicular maturation to pregnancy maintenance.
When the intestinal microbiota loses its harmony, alterations occur in the secretion of estrogens and gonadotropinsfundamental molecules for the preparation of the uterus.
This phenomenon creates an inflammatory environment that makes communication between the endocrine system and the reproductive system difficult, compromising the ability to conceive.
Microbiota, a great ally of women
In the field of fertility, clinical scenarios reveal the importance of vaginal and endometrial health.
The dominant presence of lactobacillus acts as a protective shield; Its decrease allows the advance of proinflammatory bacteria that hinder the anchoring of the embryo.
Cases of chronic endometritis and recurrent miscarriages usually find their origin in these microbial dysbiosis.
For this reason, review Europa Press, Modern reproductive medicine incorporates biopsies and specific studies of the endometrial flora to identify sources of inflammation that prevent the continuity of pregnancy, even in assisted reproduction procedures.
The evolution of this ecosystem begins in the uterine stage and is consolidated during the first thousand days of life, a period influenced by lactation and the type of birth.
In adulthood, factors such as stress, diet and drug use They constantly reconfigure this balance.
Maintaining a resilient microbiota through healthy habits promotes an optimal hormonal environment for procreation.
Understanding this bidirectional interaction between bacteria and hormones opens new routes to treat infertility, focusing attention on restoring intestinal health as the basis for a successful pregnancy.
