Endometriosis Linked With Genital Microbiome Changes
-
Women with endometriosis have an imbalance in the bacterial populations found in their vaginal microbiome, as well as throughout their entire reproductive system. This is the finding from a literature review focused on a number of case-control studies, the results of which were presented October 6 at the Infogyn 2022 conference. Preventive measures are suggested to promote the development of a balanced microbiome from adolescence.
