The vaginal microbiome of trans men and menopausal women is suspected to be similar due to a lack of estrogen leading to the absence of lactobacilli. (English)

We performed an analysis of the vaginal microbiome of trans men (n = 25) in comparison to that of menopausal (n = 25) and premenopausal women (n = 25). (English)

The vaginal microbiome of trans men and menopausal women showed a higher alpha diversity than that of premenopausal women. (English)

2024
Various beta diversity indices (e.g., Bray‒Curtis (Un-)Weigthed Unifrac), showed significant differences in community composition between trans men and premenopausal (p < 0.001) and menopausal women (p < 0.001). (English)

The vaginal microbiome of trans men is characterized by a loss of Lactobacillus and an increase in bacteria associated with the intestinal flora (e.g., Campylobacter, Anaerococcus, Dialister, Prevotella). (English)

2024
The abundance of Dialister and Prevotella decreased with the length of hormonal therapy in trans men. (English)

The duration of hormonal therapy in trans men may have important impacts on the vaginal microbiome and thus possibly on the risk for STIs. (English)
