Impact of testosterone use on the vaginal microbiota of transgender men, including susceptibility to bacterial vaginosis: study protocol for a prospective, observational study

BMJ Open, 2023
Introduction The effect of testosterone (T) therapy on the vaginal microbiota of transgender men (TGM) is not well characterised, although one cross-sectional study comparing the vaginal microbiota of cisgender women to TGM on T≥1 year found that, in 71%

Diet influences community dynamics following vaginal group B streptococcus colonization

Microbiology Spectrum
The vaginal microbiota plays a pivotal role in reproductive, sexual, and perinatal health and disease. Unlike the well-established connections between diet, metabolism, and the intestinal microbiota, parallel mechanisms influencing the vaginal microbiota

Effects of vaginal microbiota transfer on social-emotional and neurodevelopment in cesarean-born infants: 12-month follow-up of a pilot randomized clinical trial. [PDF]

Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand
In a pilot randomized clinical trial of cesarean‐born infants, vaginal microbiota transfer improved social–emotional development at 12 months, reducing social–emotional risk and improving key subdomains, while early neurodevelopmental benefits observed at 6 months were not sustained at 12 months. Abstract Introduction To evaluate the effects of vaginal

Screening and characterization of vaginal fluid donations for vaginal microbiota transplantation

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractBacterial vaginosis (BV), the overgrowth of diverse anaerobic bacteria in the vagina, is the most common cause of vaginal symptoms worldwide. BV frequently recurs after antibiotic therapy, and the best probiotic treatments only result in transient changes from BV-associated states to “optimal” communities dominated by a single species of ...

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

Human vaginal pH and microbiota: an update

Gynecological Endocrinology, 2017
A woman's vaginal pH has many implications on her health and it can be a useful tool in disease diagnosis and prevention. For that reason, the further examination of the relationship between the human vaginal pH and microbiota is imperative. In the past several decades, much has been learned about the physiological mechanisms modulating the vaginal pH,

Fibroids and infertility

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract The presence of uterine fibroids impacts fertility through multiple mechanisms. While subserosal fibroids have minimal impact, especially when of reduced size, the presence of intramural fibroids impacts both the likelihood of pregnancy and its outcomes.
