Neither the Pre nor the Post group received hormone therapy within the past 6 months. Postmenopausal women who received vaginal MHT were not included. Vaginal swabs were obtained, and microbial composition was characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing targeting the V3 to V4 region. Clinical data were collected and serum sex hormones were measured.

The vaginal community of postmenopausal women who received MHT had an increased abundance of Lactobacillus (54%) and lower microbial diversity ( P < 0.001 for Shannon and Simpson indexes) than the postmenopausal women.
