INFLUENCE OF PROBIOTICS ON THE MESOTHELIN LEVEL IN WOMEN WITH ENDOMETRIOSIS ASSOCIATED WITH INFERTILITY IN COMPLEX PREPARATION FOR ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES.

OBJECTIVE

The aim: To study the determination of Mesothelin level in women with endometriosis associated with infertility and estimate influence of probiotic on endometriosis according of Mesothelin level in complex preparation before assisted reproductive technologies.

PATIENTS AND

METHODS

Materials and methods: In this study, we conducted a retrospective analysis of the medical records of 40 infertile women who underwent assisted reproductive technologies while also using the probiotic "Femina Probiz." We divided the participants into two groups. The control group comprised 11 women who had tubal infertility due to a previous inflammatory condition but were otherwise found to be in good health through comprehensive clinical and laboratory assessments. These women, aged between 21 and 42 with an average age of 29.75 years, did not use the probiotic "Femina Probiz." The main group consisted of 29 women diagnosed with external genital endometriosis who were undergoing assisted reproductive technologies. Women in the main group received the probiotic "Femina Probiz" from Unic Biotech Ltd, India. They took one tablet twice a day for one month as part of their overall treatment before undergoing assisted reproductive technologies. We measured the Mesothelin levels before and after this preparation phase. This study was conducted at Bukovinian State Medical University and Centre of Reproductive Medicine. It's worth noting that the primary infertility incidence was significantly higher in the main group of patients.

RESULTS

Results

In the main group, we observed that the Mesothelin level was 0.73±0.01, which was significantly higher than the post-preparation level (0.59±0.01). In contrast, the control group had a Mesothelin level of 0.49±0.01. Interestingly, we noted that the Mesothelin level in patients increased approximately twofold before preparation compared to those who had undergone preparation. This suggests that the use of the probiotic led to a sharp reduction in the elevated Mesothelin levels. Consequently, the significant decrease in Mesothelin levels after using the probiotic indicates its effectiveness and potential utility in the preparation phase of assisted reproductive technologies programs.

CONCLUSION

Conclusions

The elevated Mesothelin levels indicate a strong association between the pathogenesis of endometriosis and inflammation, as well as damage to the peritoneum. The incorporation of a probiotic as part of a comprehensive preparation regimen prior to assisted reproductive technologies notably enhances the overall health of patients and leads to a reduction in Mesothelin levels. Based on our findings, we highly recommend the inclusion of this probiotic preparation in clinical practice.
