The effect of probiotic consumption on fatigue severity and sexual function among postmenopausal women: a double-blind randomized controlled trial in the west of Iran
This study provides evidence supporting the potential therapeutic effects of probiotic consumption in alleviating fatigue severity and improving sexual function in postmenopausal women. In addition, quality of life during menopause was found to improve. Further multicenter, large-scale clinical trials with extended follow-up periods are recommended to confirm these findings.
