FMT (Fecal Microbiota Transplantation)

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is a medical procedure where healthy bacteria from a donor's stool are transferred into a patient's gut. This is typically done to restore a balanced community of bacteria in the intestines, especially when the natural bacteria are disrupted by illness or antibiotics. The goal is to help the patient's gut regain its normal function, improve digestion, and prevent infections. FMT has shown particular success in treating recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections, which cause severe diarrhea and inflammation. The procedure is carefully controlled and performed under medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
