Description
Sarah Robbins and co-authors study how diabetes and vaginal microbes together relate to the genitourinary syndrome of menopause, a set of symptoms driven by low estrogen. After menopause, helpful Lactobacillus bacteria often fade, and diabetes risk rises, yet the three factors are rarely studied jointly. Their cohort followed hundreds of women in midlife.
Among postmenopausal women with diabetes, a low-Lactobacillus state pointed, weakly and not firmly, toward less vaginal thinning. Among women without diabetes, the same state clearly pointed toward more thinning. Diabetes thus changed the direction of the link, with a similar pattern for dryness. The authors call for larger studies of this interplay.
