Article Synopsis
- Endometriosis is linked to changes in gut and urinary microbiomes, which can be influenced by the number of sexual partners and the type of treatments patients receive.
- Researchers collected and analyzed samples from patients with endometriosis and control individuals to understand the effects of hormonal therapy and surgical interventions on microbial profiles.
- Results showed that higher sexual partner exposure can worsen microbial imbalances in endometriosis patients, potentially reducing the effectiveness of treatments like hormone therapy and surgery.*
