Endometriosis and tissue bacteria study
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 52 years old.
- You have regular periods, usually every 28 to 35 days.

This study gathers information from women with endometriosis and healthy women to better understand the condition. By participating, you help researchers learn more about endometriosis, which may lead to better care in the future.
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 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.
This study creates a lab model of endometrial tissue from surgery samples to better understand and treat endometriosis. Researchers will collect tissue during your planned surgery (for endometriosis or another benign condition) to grow it in a dish and study it.
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 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.
