Dr. Chen Zhe
Endometritis generally does not affect IVF embryo transfer if it is not particularly severe. However, if the condition is more serious, it may lead to gynecological disorders such as endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial polyps, and increase the likelihood of intrauterine adhesions, thereby negatively impacting IVF embryo transfer. Therefore, patients with endometritis are advised to undergo treatment before proceeding with IVF, to avoid compromising the success rate of embryo implantation.
