Vaginal microbiota transplantation alleviates vaginal atrophy in ovariectomized mice. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Abstract Genitourinary menopausal syndrome (GSM) is a prevalent symptom in menopausal women, affecting over 50% of older women and patients with loss of ovarian function. The role of factors other than estrogen, such as the vaginal microbiota, in the development of GSM has not been fully explored. Therefore, we selected 8-week-old C57 mice with

Diversity in women and their vaginal microbiota.

Trends Microbiol
Women's health is essential to global societal and economic wellbeing, yet health disparities remain prevalent. The vaginal microbiota plays a critical role in health, with research indicating that reduced levels of core bacteria, such as lactobacilli, are associated with conditions like bacterial vaginosis (BV) and increased infection susceptibility ...
