An Overview of the Microbiome Role in Female Reproductive Health

Microbiome refers to the total genome of all microorganisms that inhabit a human body as a host and microbiota usually refers to all the microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, and fungi that are found within a specific environment. In fact, there are types of microbial communities and their genes in the human body, which play an essential role in human health and disease. The microbes that live in our bodies are very diverse and variable. Studies related to the human microbiome show that even the same healthy people are different in the microbes that exist in different habitats such as the mouth, intestines, skin, and vagina. Also, many of these differences and variations have remained unknown until today, it has been determined that the environment, diet, and genetics of the host are all involved in it. Also, the importance of probiotics in the diet should not be neglected, and in some cases, in order to prevent menstrual problems in women or possible disorders in pregnancy, they can be used. In the upcoming review research, by studying related articles, we will investigate more about the microbiome, especially the vaginal microbiome, and its importance in female reproductive health.
