Can Mikrobiom Test help with fertility?

A microbiome test (e.g., from MyBody-X) analyzes bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, which generally support gut health. There is mechanistic evidence that a healthy gut microbiome may positively influence fertility through hormone regulation and inflammation modulation – for example in PCOS or endometriosis. However, the test does not measure direct fertility markers. The evidence is mostly mechanistic and not supported by human clinical trials for this specific purpose. A microbiome test can serve as complementary information but does not replace a gynecological or andrological workup. If you want to use the test for fertility optimization, discuss the results with a physician and do not rely on it as the sole basis for decisions.
