First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how lying with the head tilted down—mimicking the fluid shifts of space—changes blood flow in the uterus and ovaries. Twenty healthy women participated. Researchers used ultrasound to measure blood flow before and during the head-down position. The goal is to better understand how spaceflight might affect women's reproductive health.
