Women on menopause

Posted by sclark426 on 09 Oct 2023 at 19:41 GMT

Reading through the results, discussion, and conclusions, there is a comment saying the study didn't find differences in the colonization of lactobacillus crispatus on older women. According to your research, if I am old and in menopause with one partner, using a condom won't change the colonization. Is that right? And what is the biggest microbiome disruptor in unprotected sex (disrupting the colonization of the lactobacillus crispatus)? On this question, I am not using age as a factor. I want to confirm if semen is the leading disruptor or not.
