What role does Stuhlprobe play in Wechseljahre?

The stool sample (microbiome test) is increasingly discussed as a potential tool for analyzing the gut microbiome during menopause. However, the provided context contains no specific studies or evidence supporting a direct role of stool testing in menopause. While general research suggests that hormonal shifts can influence the gut microbiome, the evidence for using stool tests to guide personalized interventions in menopause is currently weak and largely based on marketing claims. MyBody-X offers a gut microbiome test, but without concrete data on menopause, its utility remains unclear. Medical consultation is recommended before pursuing such tests.
