Uterine infection linked to infertility: antibiotics may boost pregnancy chances
NCT ID NCT07603492
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 100 women with infertility to see how common chronic endometritis (a long-term inflammation of the womb lining) is and whether antibiotic treatment can improve their chances of getting pregnant and having a healthy baby. Participants will have a camera test and tissue sample, and if inflammation is found, they will receive antibiotics. Researchers will track fertility and pregnancy outcomes for up to a year after treatment.

Who is studied
The study population will consist of women aged 18-40 years with primary or secondary infertility undergoing diagnostic hysteroscopy with endometrial biopsy for infertility evaluation or suspected chronic endometritis (CE). Participants will be recruited at University Hospital Královské Vinohrady and collaborating reproductive medicine centers in Prague, Czech Republic. Eligible participants must provide written informed consent and agree to protocol-defined diagnostic procedures, antibiotic treatment if indicated, and prospective follow-up of reproductive outcomes. The study will include women with previous unsuccessful assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles, recurrent implantation failure, recurrent pregnancy loss, or unexplained infertility. Approximately 100 participants are expected to be enrolled.
