Study gut and vaginal bacteria in PCOS women
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at differences in gut and vaginal bacteria in people with PCOS (a hormone-related condition). You may help researchers understand what bacterial patterns are linked to PCOS and why that might matter for symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have PCOS diagnosed at Erasmus MC using Rotterdam criteria
- You need at least two PCOS signs like high “androgen” hormones, infrequent/absent periods, or cyst-like ovaries
