Is Helicobacter useful for Wechseljahre?

There is no scientifically established usefulness of Helicobacter pylori for menopause (Wechseljahre). H. pylori is a bacterium primarily associated with gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. Some observational studies suggest a possible link between H. pylori infection and altered estrogen metabolism or inflammatory markers, but the evidence is weak and inconsistent. Deliberate infection or colonization would be dangerous and ethically unjustifiable. Menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood changes have evidence-based treatments (hormone therapy, lifestyle modifications). H. pylori plays no therapeutic role. Claims of benefit for menopause are not supported by clinical trials and may be misleading.
