What studies show the vaginal microbiome is important for gynaecological health?

There are several studies that show the correlation between having a healthy vaginal microbiome and a lower risk of getting vaginal infections like thrush and BV, a lower risk of contracting STIs, improved fertility and lower risks of miscarriage and pre-term birth, and a lower risk of developing gynaecological cancers. You can find more study references at the bottom of the vaginal microbiome screening page, as well as in your test results.
