Filter by:This is a longitudinal, observational study with the goal of understanding vaginal microbiome changes both within a single day and across a menstrual cycle. The study will be composed of at least 10 women that have regular menstrual cycles and are 18 years of age or older. This study is direct to participant and will NOT utilize clinical sites.
Vaginal dysbiosis is a common condition among women. Vaginal dysbiosis covers imbalances in the vaginal flora, caused by the composition of microbes, bacteria, viruses and fungi. Dysbiosis occurs in about 16% of all women in Denmark. A large proportion of women who have vaginal dysbiosis do not experience any symptoms. However, vaginal dysbiosis can present challenges in several contexts, including a higher tendency for bacterial infections in the female genitals, lower chances of pregnancy in women undergoing fertility treatment, just as it can predispose to premature birth. This project is aimed at women aged 18-40, who wants to participate in a study to investigate whether, by transplanting vaginal secretion from one woman with a normal vaginal bacterial flora to another woman with an imbalance in the vaginal bacterial flora (called vaginal dysbiosis), can establish a normal vaginal bacterial flora in the recipient of the transplant. The study will also explore weather genetic, immunological, hormonal, metabolic, health behaviors and clinical factors have significance on whether a normal vaginal flora is achieved after transplantation.
The study aims to assess the influence of a probiotic supplement (OMNi-BiOTiC® FLORA plus +) on the vaginal microbiome composition of women suffering from infertility.
