This study explores the vaginal microbiome and metabolome in women with common genital infections, revealing key microbial shifts and metabolic markers associated with infections like VC, T, and V, highlighting potential diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets.

This study suggests that birth mode may influence the vaginal microbiota, with C-section delivery potentially linked to a less protective microbiome and higher odds of V in adulthood.

This study examined how bacterial vaginosis and R-PV infection influence vaginal microbiota diversity and cervical dysplasia in Chinese women, identifying Lactobacillus iners as a key microbial player in PV-related IN progression.

This study characterized the fungal communities in the female genital tract of young South African women and identified how fungal composition relates to bacterial vaginosis and other clinical factors.

A longitudinal study in predominantly Black and Hispanic young women found that a molecular V subtype (ST-V-A) and a network of specific bacteria increase risk for Chlamydia trachomatis infection and reinfection, underscoring the clinical importance of cervicovaginal microbiome signatures.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that Salvia officinalis significantly reduces the frequency of hot flashes in postmenopausal women, making it a promising non-hormonal alternative.

This meta-analysis reveals that SRIs are effective in reducing hot flashes in menopausal women, with escitalopram showing the highest efficacy. These results support SRIs as a non-hormonal alternative to hormone therapy.

This study demonstrates that LE4901, an K3R antagonist, significantly reduces hot flash frequency, severity, and interference in menopausal women, offering a non-hormonal treatment alternative.

The study assessed the effectiveness of the Evia app, a smartphone-based hypnotherapy intervention, in reducing hot flash frequency and severity in menopausal women.

This study suggests that a low-fat vegan diet, particularly one supplemented with soybeans, significantly reduces hot flashes in postmenopausal women, with improvements linked to higher plant-based diet scores.
