Balance del contenido vaginal para detección de patologías asociadas en mujeres en edad fértil

The vaginal microbiota, composed mainly of Lactobacillus  spp., plays a crucial role in female genital health.  Disruption of this balance can lead to various pathologies, such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and nonspecific microbial  vaginitis (IMV).

Sumario:The vaginal microbiota, composed mainly of Lactobacillus  spp., plays a crucial role in female genital health.  Disruption of this balance can lead to various pathologies, such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and nonspecific microbial  vaginitis (IMV). This work was carried out in collaboration  with the "José Manuel Estrada" Teacher Training Institute  and the UNNE Faculty of Biochemistry, involving students  in the collection and analysis of vaginal samples. The  BACOVA method allowed the samples to be classified into  five Basic Vaginal States (BSVs), providing an accurate  differential diagnosis of vaginal dysfunctions. Of the 14  samples analyzed, 86% presented some degree of vaginal  dysfunction, highlighting the prevalence of normal  microbiota with an inflammatory reaction (EVB II). In  addition, cases of yeast infection, predominantly Candida  albicans, and urogenital mycoplasmas were identified,  especially in advanced stages of vaginal dysfunction. The  results underline the effectiveness of the BACOVA method  in the early identification of vaginal pathologies, its  applicability in primary care contexts and its potential to  optimize gynecological and reproductive health. This  project not only provided valuable data for public health,  but also promoted the integration of teaching with  community work, reinforcing the practical training and  social commitment of Biochemistry students.
