Study gut and pelvic microbiome in endometriosis surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at differences in the body’s microbes in people with endometriosis (and sometimes infertility) who are having key procedures through a laparoscopy (a small-camera surgery). It may help doctors better understand what’s going on and improve future treatment choices.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- Your care plan includes laparoscopy (small-camera surgery) for endometriosis treatment, or for further testing related to unexplained infertility
- You have not had abdominal surgery in the last 6 months before hospital admission

This study looks at how the immune system and gut bacteria relate to endometriosis. It involves women having surgery for endometriosis or other benign gynecologic issues to understand what makes endometriosis different and how to better treat it.
This study looks at how tiny organisms (microbiota) inside the uterus and pelvis may be linked to endometriosis. If you are having surgery for endometriosis, researchers will collect tissue samples to compare the bacteria in your body with your symptoms.
This study collects tissue samples during surgery to create a detailed map of genes in endometriosis. It may help researchers understand why some people have more severe symptoms.
This study looks at pain in people with or without endometriosis who are having laparoscopic surgery. Researchers want to understand more about pelvic pain by collecting information before, during, and after surgery.
This study looks at how pesticides might affect fertility in women with endometriosis, focusing on stress markers and gut/genital bacteria. You will provide samples and answer questions so researchers can compare women with and without endometriosis.
This study collects blood and small tissue samples during planned gynecological surgery to better diagnose endometriosis and predict its course. It may help future patients by making diagnoses and outlook more accurate.
