This observational study, called the Vaginal Ecosystem and Network in the United States Study, is looking at how the balance of bacteria and other tiny organisms in the vagina (the vaginal microbiome) affects conditions like Bacterial Vaginosis, Candidiasis (yeast infections), and Urinary Tract Infections. Researchers will collect a vaginal swab from you to analyze the microbiome using special tests (PCR and NGS). The main goal is to understand how different microbiome patterns are linked to these conditions. The study aims to enroll 3250 healthy women, aged 18 to 89, who are not pregnant or trying to conceive. The study's success will be measured by analyzing the microbiome from your swab on the first day.
