The aim of research - a comparative study of the microflora of the vagina and bowel in women with secondary infertility and gastrointestinal distress. Materials and methods. We examined gut and vaginal microbiota in 17 infertile women according to the presence or absence of gastrointestinal diseases. We used a standard procedure for microbiological examination. Results. Certain changes of bacterial load and composition in both reservoirs were established. They allowed us to conclude the same trends in characterizing of the developing dysbiosis. Conclusion. Thus, the simultaneous studying of vaginal and gut microflora seems to be rational during the examination of women with childbearing disorders. It could possibly increase the treatment efficacy and/or prevent the development of some pathology.
