Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT)

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is a medical procedure that involves transferring healthy bacteria from a donor's stool into the intestines of a patient. This is done to restore the balance of good microbes in the gut, particularly after conditions like Clostridioides difficile infection, which can cause severe diarrhea and gut issues. By replenishing beneficial bacteria, FMT can help improve gut health and overall well-being. The procedure is typically done through a colonoscopy, enema, or capsule, and is considered a promising treatment for certain gastrointestinal disorders.
