This study is looking at the bacteria living in the vagina to understand what makes a healthy microbiome in African women. You will provide self-collected swabs and attend visits to help researchers learn more about vaginal health.
This study looks at the vaginal “microbiome” (the normal germs and bacteria in the vagina) in people who have had abnormal Pap smear or colposcopy results related to HPV. It may help doctors understand what to monitor and how to better identify early, pre-cancer changes in the cervix.
This study looks at the natural balance of bacteria and other factors in the vagina of healthy women. It aims to learn more about what a healthy vaginal ecosystem looks like.
This study tests whether probiotic bacteria taken by mouth can be found in the vagina of healthy women. It involves taking a daily probiotic for 4 weeks and providing samples (stool, vaginal swabs, and skin swabs) to track where the probiotics go.
This study builds a detailed library of the microbes living on your skin and in your gut. It may help researchers better understand how these microbes relate to health and future diseases.
This study tests a new way to diagnose vaginal infections by collecting samples from the vagina. If you have symptoms like unusual discharge, itching, burning, or odor, this research may help improve how doctors identify what's causing your discomfort.
