Vaginal Environment
- Molecular classification
- Microbiome, Ecosystem
01
Overview
The vaginal environment is a dynamic mucosal ecosystem whose health depends on microbial balance—primarily maintained through lactobacilli-driven acidity—and which plays a critical role in protecting against infection while being sensitive to physiological changes throughout life. It is not a single target but a complex interplay of factors.
