ALICE – Analysis of Infectious Chronic Endometritis
WHAT IS ALICE TEST ?
ALICE (Analysis of Infectious Chronic Endometritis) is an advanced diagnostic test used to detect chronic infections in the endometrium (uterine lining) that may negatively affect embryo implantation and pregnancy outcomes.
At Freya Fertility, ALICE helps identify specific bacteria responsible for chronic endometritis, allowing targeted treatment to improve uterine health and increase the chances of successful pregnancy.
ALICE is beneficial for patients who:
- Have recurrent implantation failure
- Have repeated IVF failures
- Have unexplained infertility
- Have a history of chronic endometritis
- Have experienced recurrent miscarriages
WHAT IS CHRONIC ENDOMETRITIS?
Chronic Endometritis is a persistent, often symptomless inflammation of the uterine lining caused by bacterial infection. It can disrupt implantation and increase the risk of miscarriage if left untreated.
Initial Assessment & Cycle Planning
A suitable cycle is planned to collect an endometrial sample at the right time.
Endometrial Sample Collection
A small tissue sample is obtained through a simple biopsy procedure.
Molecular Analysis (ALICE Test)
The sample is analyzed to identify specific bacteria responsible for infection.
Result Interpretation
The report highlights the presence and type of harmful bacteria in the uterus.
Targeted Antibiotic Treatment
Personalized antibiotics are prescribed to eliminate infection and restore uterine health.
Follow-Up & Confirmation
Repeat testing or evaluation ensures that the infection has been resolved.
Embryo Transfer Planning
Once the uterus is healthy, embryo transfer is scheduled for better success.
