First seen May 08, 2026 ยท Last updated May 08, 2026

Summary

This study aims to understand why some women get repeated yeast infections while others don't. Researchers will compare the vaginal yeast and bacteria of 120 women aged 18-50 who have either a first-time infection, recurrent infections, or yeast without symptoms. They will also track how treatment with fluconazole or boric acid affects these microbes. The goal is to learn more about what causes recurrent infections, not to test a new treatment.
