Filter by:Chronic Endometritis (CE) is related to infertility and entails a challenging management. This study investigates the treatment of off-label intrauterine antibiotic infusion either separately or combined with oral antibiotic administration, and it assesses respective performance against the gold standard treatment of oral antibiotic adminstration. Data sourced herein reports on treatment efficiency, defined as a negative diagnosis for chronic endometritis.
Chronic Endometritis (CE) is related to infertility and entails a challenging management. This study investigates the treatment of off-label intrauterine antibiotic infusion (IAI) combined with oral antibiotic administration (OAA), and it assesses respective performance against the gold standard treatment of OAA. Data sourced herein reports on treatment efficiency and fertility restoration for both patients aiming to conceive naturally or via In Vitro fertilization (IVF).
Treatment of the patients with scarring and adhesions in the uterus resulting from caesarean section or chronic inflammation in the mucosa of the uterus and fallopian tubes and preventing the occurrence of these effects in the future
Chronic endometritis (CE) is a persistent inflammation of the endometrial lining caused by the infection of the uterine cavity mainly by bacterial pathogens. It is known that CE can produce implantation failure, recurrent abortion and preterm labor. The study hypothesis is that patients who have repeated implantation failures (RIF) despite transferring good quality and normal embryos, diagnosed by preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), into a receptive endometrium, diagnosed by Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA), may present asymptomatic CE, being the altered endometrium the main cause of these implantation failures. The current diagnosis of CE is the microbiological culture of endometrial biopsy samples. Alternatively, examination of the uterine cavity by hysteroscopy is effective at 93.4%. However, both methods have limitations, such as the time needed to obtain the diagnosis, the economic cost of the tests, the possibility of detecting microorganisms in culture etc. For these reasons, the developing of a simple, fast, cheap and minimally invasive diagnostic tool for CE patients subjected to IVF treatments is expected. It would be very useful in order to establish a specific treatment and improve pregnancy rates in infertile patients. For this reason, the bacterial DNA present in the endometrial fluid samples will be obtained and the identification of the causative pathogens of CE will be done by sequencing (NGS) and/or quantitative PCR with specific oligonucleotides for the most common bacteria causing CE. The validation of this new method will be performed by comparison with the microbiological diagnosis of those same patients.
This study is to evaluate the prevalence of chronic endometritis (CE) in women with severe intrauterine adhesions and compare recurrence of adhesion in women with and without CE.
This study evaluates the effect of Dead Sea Peloid Gel in the treatment of Chronic Endometritis in women with reproductive disorders. Half of participants will receive Dead Sea Peloid Gel and antibiotics, while the other half will receive Placebo Gel and antibiotics. Patients with reproductive disorders who visited Research Medical Center of Family Health Problems and Human Reproduction were recruited.
120 cases with a diagnosis of chronic endometritis, confirmed by the presence of plasma cells in endometrial biopsy sample identified by immunohistochemical staining using CD138 antibody, have been recruited. The subjects have been randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group have been given antibiotic (Levofloxacin and Tinidazole for 14 days) treatment, the control group did not receive any antibiotic. Initially it was planned for women in the control group to take placebo,but the organization was difficult, so it was changed prior to the start of the study to an open label study. A repeat endometrial biopsy sample have been obtained 2-4 weeks after completion of the antibiotic therapy to assess the response to treatment. The conversion rate will be compared between the two groups
Background: Embryo quality is known to be a very important determinant to predict the implantation and pregnancy rate in IVF patients, however, the role of uterine integrity or endometrial receptivity cannot be overlooked. Chronic endometritis (CE) is an inflammation of the endometrium diagnosed by the presence of plasma cells in the endometrial stroma. There is not only no census on the definition of CE, the current literature on the impact of CE on reproductive outcome is controversial and consists only of retrospective studies with small sample sizes. Although there is a presumption that CE is related to poor IVF outcome, this belief has not been proven. Design: Prospective cohort study Setting: Infertility clinics of 2 academic medical centers Patients: Patients between the ages of ≥ 21 and ≤ 35 years old undergoing their first IVF cycle will be invited to participate. Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome will be ongoing pregnancy after 12 weeks estimated gestational age (EGA) with previously documented fetal cardiac motion. Secondary outcomes will include pregnancy loss rate as defined by chemical pregnancy, blighted ovum or loss of fetal cardiac motion before 12 weeks EGA. Materials and Methods: The cycle prior to IVF, patients will undergo an in-office endometrial biopsy on cycle days 19-24. Samples will be stained for CD138 and the number of plasma cells will be quantified. The number of plasma cells in a sample that yields the best sensitivity and specificity for pregnancy will be determined by a Receiver-Operator-Curve. This number will then be used as a dichotomous variable to assign categories of "positive for CE" and "negative for CE." Pregnancy and miscarriage rates will then be determined in the positive and negative CE sample with Chi Square Analysis. A secondary sub analysis will be performed to determine pregnancy and miscarriage rates in patients who declined to participate in the study. Expected Results: The investigators hypothesize that higher rates of CE will be found in women failing to conceive with IVF and with subsequent first-trimester miscarriage.
