Key Points

The aim is to assess menstrual fluid as a non-invasive specimen for detecting systemic and reproductive biomarkers reflective of hormonal and neuroinflammatory states.
Evaluation of menstrual fluid as a specimen type.
Focus on hormone, inflammatory, and neurological biomarkers.
Non-invasive sampling technique using tampons for analysis.
Demonstrated potential of menstrual fluid to detect various biomarkers effectively.
Showed correlation of biomarkers with hormonal and neuroinflammatory states.

Implication

Evaluates menstrual fluid for detecting biomarkers in reproductive health, indicating a novel non-invasive approach.

Abstract
