Vaginal bacteria and cervical immunity in women with uterine fibroids
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how the natural bacteria in the vagina and the immune defenses of the cervix may be different in women with uterine fibroids. It aims to understand if these differences are linked to fibroids, which could help in future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study aims to develop and test a tool that predicts whether uterine fibroids affect a woman's ability to get pregnant. By joining, you help doctors better understand how fibroids impact fertility and improve future care for women like you.
This study looks at how aging cells in the uterus may cause fibroids. Researchers will collect tissue and blood samples to understand fibroid growth better.
This study looks at how uterine fibroids affect pregnancy in women. It may help doctors understand the link between fibroids and fertility.
This study looks at how uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths in the uterus) and their surgical removal affect the pelvic floor—the muscles and tissues that support your bladder, bowel, and uterus. It aims to better understand these effects in patients scheduled for either hysterectomy or myomectomy.
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 bacteria living in the vagina, urine tract, and stool to learn why some women get repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs). The results may help doctors better prevent or treat UTIs in the future.
