Devices, systems and related methods for direct and in-vivo monitoring and stimulation of the endometrial cavity include a plurality of sensing modalities incorporated on a set of flexible conductive filaments that allows its insertion in an endometrial cavity through the vagina. The flexible set of conductive filaments is in direct contact with the endometrium to maximize recording sensitivity and acquire direct readings, which correspond to the functionality of the endometrium and/or electrically stimulate endometrial peristalsis in a controlled manner. The same electrodes can be used for a controlled stimulation to strengthen weakened muscle tissue before and after medical and surgical interventions on the uterus, to reset to normal contractility. The methods and systems disclosed herein can be used to improve the chances of success for artificial insemination, including in-vitro fertilization, embryo transfer, and intrauterine insemination, diagnostic tests, and may further improve the overall understanding of endometrial functionality.
A system for in-vivo intrauterine electromyography of tissue of at least one of an endometrial cavity, an endometrial junctional zone, and an endometrium comprising:
