This editorial introduces a research topic collection highlighting women-led studies in infectious disease, covering diverse areas such as vulvovaginal candidiasis, cervical cancer prevention, and pregnancy complications. A key component of the collection is a systematic review by Luppi et al., which examines how hormonal treatments for endometriosis may influence the reproductive microbiome, suggesting that these therapies could promote dysbiotic shifts with implications for inflammation and fertility. The paper also discusses other topics including self-collected menstrual blood testing for HPV and placental manganese levels in preeclampsia. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for GnRH antagonists, though the paper's main focus is uterine fibroids.
