Uterus Continuously Moves, Indicating Pregnancy Chances
Emeritus professor Dick Schoot and his team at the Catharina Hospital in Eindhoven discovered that uterine contractions provide insight into fertility health and IVF success rates. Using advanced ultrasound techniques developed with TU/e, they mapped these movements, revealing patterns that help predict IVF outcomes with 95% accuracy. The research allows doctors to adjust treatments or use medication to calm the uterus, potentially preventing failed implantations and reducing pain for patients suffering from conditions like endometriosis.
