Abstract:
Endometriosis (EMS) is a common gynecological disease, usually occurs in women of reproductive age. EMS is characterized by pelvic pain, infertility and sexual discomfort, which seriously affects women's physical and mental health. There are a large number of microorganisms in various parts of the human body, which play an important role in various stages of reproduction through the microbial community itself or metabolites. Recent studies have found changes in the composition of microbiota in patients with EMS, and the effect of EMS on female fertility is closely related to imbalances in the human microecological environment. This article reviews the interaction between female microbiome and EMS, and the relationship between changes in microecological environment and adverse pregnancy outcomes in EMS patients.
