First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether a common vaginal yeast, Candida albicans, plays a role in endometriosis. Researchers compared 48 women with and without endometriosis to see if yeast overgrowth was more common in those with the disease. The goal was to better understand what causes endometriosis, not to test a new treatment.
