Simple cup could slash infection risk for vulnerable women
NCT ID NCT05666778
Summary
This study is testing whether providing menstrual cups to economically vulnerable women in Kenya can help prevent bacterial vaginosis and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The researchers believe that using a clean, reusable cup for menstruation may replace unhygienic practices and materials that can increase infection risk. They will follow 408 women for up to three years to see if using the cup leads to fewer infections.
