Cervicovaginal zinc and copper profiles across vaginitis phenotypes and hydrogel assignment: an exploratory pilot study

Abstract Zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) support epithelial integrity, nutritional immunity, and host–microbiome interactions, yet cervicovaginal trace-metal dynamics across vaginitis phenotypes remain poorly defined. We prospectively quantified cervicovaginal lavage (CVL) Zn and Cu by...
