Analysis of Infectious Chronic Endometritis

ALICE (analysis of infectious chronic endometritis) is a specialised diagnostic service that identifies chronic endometrial infections, which can affect fertility. This service helps diagnose and treat chronic endometritis, improving the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.

What is ALICE?

ALICE is a diagnostic test designed to detect chronic endometritis, an inflammatory infection of the endometrial lining caused by harmful bacteria.

The primary purpose of ALICE is to identify chronic infections in the endometrium that may be missed by standard tests. Detecting these infections allows for targeted antibiotic treatments to restore a healthy endometrial environment.

ALICE is necessary for several reasons. Here are a few:

  • Improved Fertility Outcomes: By identifying chronic endometritis, ALICE enhances the chances of successful implantation.

  • Better Pregnancy Rates: Addressing chronic infections leads to higher pregnancy rates and reduces the risk of miscarriages.

  • Clear Understanding: Provides insights into underlying fertility issues, guiding treatment plans for better reproductive health.

Why is ALICE Done?

  • Assess Endometrial Health: ALICE provides a comprehensive assessment of endometrial health by detecting chronic infections. This detailed evaluation is crucial for ensuring a healthy environment for embryo implantation.

  • Identify Dysbiosis: ALICE identifies dysbiosis, as an imbalance between beneficial and harmful bacteria in the endometrium. Dysbiosis can cause chronic endometritis, leading to fertility issues.

  • Improve Treatment Outcomes: The insights gained from ALICE allow for personalised treatment plans that address specific microbial imbalances, leading to better reproductive outcomes. This targeted approach enhances the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy by ensuring that any underlying infections are treated effectively.

How is ALICE Done?

Typically, a consultation is scheduled with a specialist to discuss the ALICE procedure and its importance, who will prepare you for sample collection. The expert will ask about your medical history and previous fertility treatments to customise the procedure according to your specific needs. After that the following process takes place:

  1. Endometrial Sample Collection: A small tissue sample is collected from the lining of the uterus using a thin, flexible catheter. The process typically takes only a few minutes and can be done in an outpatient setting.

  2. Laboratory Analysis: The collected sample is preserved and sent to a specialised laboratory equipped for detailed analysis. Later, microbial analysis happens where the sample undergoes testing to identify the presence of specific bacteria associated with chronic endometritis.

  3. Reports Evaluation: The lab results are evaluated by specialists to determine the presence and levels of harmful bacteria in the endometrium. You will have a follow-up consultation with your doctor to discuss the results. Based on the results, the treatment plan will be tailored to enhance your chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        The ALICE test is designed to detect and identify the presence of specific bacteria responsible for chronic endometritis, an often overlooked condition that can negatively impact fertility and implantation.
        Chronic endometritis is a persistent, low-grade inflammation of the endometrium, often caused by bacterial infection, that may not present obvious symptoms but can still affect fertility and pregnancy outcomes.
        Patients experiencing recurrent implantation failure, unexplained infertility, or recurrent miscarriages are prime candidates for the ALICE test, as it can uncover hidden infections that may be hindering pregnancy.
        ALICE uses molecular techniques to detect specific pathogenic bacteria, offering a more precise diagnosis than traditional methods, which may miss chronic infections or fail to identify the exact bacteria involved.
        ALICE test results can guide targeted antibiotic therapy to treat the specific bacteria identified, potentially improving the chances of successful implantation and reducing the risk of miscarriage in future pregnancies.
