Gut health and fertility
Are you longing to have children but haven't yet conceived? One possible cause could lie in the gut, specifically in cases of dysbiosis – an imbalance of the gut microbiota. Gut health influences many bodily processes. If the intestinal barrier is compromised, inflammation can occur, putting the immune system under constant stress.

What Does the Gut Microbiota Have to Do with Fertility?
Clinical studies suggest that dysbiosis can affect hormone production and metabolism. Conditions such as bacterial vaginal infections (vaginosis), endometriosis, or ovarian cysts are related to this. Lactobacilli, the main actors of the vaginal mucosa, have an important influence on metabolic processes and the regulation of hormones such as estrogen. Estrogen is crucial for the monthly cycle of women and pregnancy, as it supports the growth and blood flow of the uterus. Dysbiosis can reduce estrogen regulation.
Bacterial Colonization
The colonization of the vaginal mucosa also plays an important role. Ideally, Lactobacilli are dominant, as they lower the pH and displace pathogenic bacteria. Studies suggest that colonization with more than 90% Lactobacilli could have positive effects on pregnancy. However, the data is still limited and inconsistent.
The Role of Men
Pregnancy involves two people. The sperm quality of the man should also be considered. Pathogenic organisms can impair sperm quality, while Lactobacilli have a protective effect. Researchers see positive therapeutic potential in biologically active bacteria for supporting fertility.
Conclusion
There is substantial evidence for the positive and negative effects of the microbiota on fertility. A connection between gut and vaginal microbiota is likely. Initial studies show positive effects of Lactobacilli, but the data is still limited. Targeted support of the gut microbiota strengthens the gut barrier and can help prevent inflammation and disease.
