New natural gel for bacterial vaginosis passes first safety check

This early-stage study tests whether LCFA-01, a natural gel containing oleic acid, is safe and comfortable when placed in the vagina. Thirty healthy women aged 18-40 will use the gel and be monitored for side effects, discomfort, and how much of the product enters the bloodstream. The goal is to gather safety data before testing it as a treatment for bacterial vaginosis.
