A closer look at the microbiome
The microbiome is the totality of microorganisms in and on our bodies. It is omnipresent and actually plays an essential role in numerous areas of life such as nutrition, health, hygiene and personal care.
Did you know that the microbiome even helps to identify people in forensics and criminal research, as it is as unique as a fingerprint or DNA?
The microbiome is also of great importance in reproductive medicine. The vaginal microbiome plays a decisive role in the desire to have children and fertility. For example, the ALICE-TEST - ‘Analysis of Infectious Chronic Endometritis’ - aims to identify bacteria that cause chronic inflammation of the uterine lining and are associated with infertility or gynaecological complications.
Bad bacteria - yes, there are also many good bacteria - can have a negative impact on the microbiome. At the Kinderwunsch Institut, we examine the various functions of your body as part of the reproductive medical examinations and get to the bottom of the causes of your unfulfilled desire to have children.
