ENDOMETRIAL MICROBIOTA AND ITS IMPACT ON IMPLANTATION SUCCESS
Keywords:
Endometrial microbiota, implantation, embryo transfer, endometrial receptivity, assisted reproductive technology, reproductive outcomes, microbial diversityAbstract
The endometrial microbiota has emerged as a key factor influencing female reproductive health and implantation outcomes. This article reviews current evidence on the composition and diversity of the endometrial microbiome and its role in modulating endometrial receptivity, immune response, and embryo implantation. The potential clinical implications for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and strategies to optimize implantation success through microbiota modulation are also discussed.
