Endometrial Microbiome Test

What Makes for a Healthy Endometrial Microbiome?

A healthy uterine environment is one with a high proportion of Lactobacillus—a beneficial type of lactic acid bacteria.

How Lactobacillus Helps Create a Healthier Uterine Environment

1

Improves the Uterine Environment

Lactobacillus breaks down sugars and produces lactic acid, keeping the reproductive tract slightly acidic. This helps prevent harmful bacteria from growing.

2

Reduces Immune Attacks on Fertilized Eggs

When harmful bacteria increase, they may cause inflammation, making immune cells more active. These immune cells may mistakenly attack the fertilized egg. Lactobacillus helps reduce the number of harmful bacteria and inflammation, which may calm the immune response.

Low levels of Lactobacillus may also contribute to conditions like bacterial vaginosis or endometritis. That’s why it’s important to support a healthy balance of good bacteria. [3][4][5]

How Do You Know If You Have Enough Good Bacteria (Lactobacillus)?

You can find out through an Endometrial Microbiome Test.

What Is the Endometrial Microbiome Test?

The Endometrial Microbiome Test checks the balance of good bacteria—specifically Lactobacillus—in the vagina or uterus.
Varinos Inc. was the first in the world to make this test available for clinical use.

• At a clinic, a doctor will gently collect a sample from your vagina or uterine cavity using a swab or pipette. The sample is then analyzed at a specialized lab to look at the bacterial DNA. This allows us to accurately measure the proportion of Lactobacillus present.
• Thanks to years of research and a highly skilled team, Varinos is able to provide clinics with highly precise results.
• The test analyzes bacterial DNA, which also makes it possible to detect other bacteria—such as naturally occurring microbes or those linked to conditions like bacterial vaginosis. For this reason, many fertility clinics use this test to help guide treatment plans.

When Should You Consider Getting the Test?

Who is the test for?
This test may be suitable for individuals who are:

People who are concerned about their endometrial microbiome often take this test at fertility clinics.
If you're curious about your own uterine environment, talk to your doctor.

What If the Test Shows an Imbalance?

Your test report will show the percentage of good bacteria (Lactobacillus).
If other types of bacteria are found, the report will also list which ones they are and in what amounts.
Based on these results, your doctor can create a treatment plan to help increase the Lactobacillus or address any harmful bacteria.
This may involve antibiotics, supplements, or lifestyle changes.
Treatment is personalized based on your unique bacterial balance. Please consult your doctor for more details.

• Case1:Low Lactobacillus

  If you have some Lactobacillus but not enough, your doctor may suggest improving your diet and lifestyle, along with taking supplements that support a healthy microbiome. This can help create an environment where Lactobacillus can grow.

  

• Case2:Harmful Bacteria Are Present

  If specific harmful bacteria are found, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to reduce them. At the same time, improving diet and taking the right nutrients can help Lactobacillus thrive.

  

• Case3:No Lactobacillus Detected

  If no Lactobacillus is found, your doctor may recommend taking it directly as a supplement. Along with diet and lifestyle changes, this helps build an environment where Lactobacillus can take hold and grow.
