  abstract = {{G}ynecological health is a challenge in low-income countries. {P}ersonal opposition to perineal examination has been overcome by the use of vaginal self-sampling. {H}ere, we review the use of this procedure notably in low-income countries and the main infectious causes of miscarriage. {V}aginal self-sampling was mainly used for human papillomavirus detection but also to detect microorganisms causing sexually transmitted infections or bacterial vaginosis. 58 studies have been performed in low-resource countries, mainly studies performed to detect human papillomavirus in urban and peri-urban areas and demonstrating excellent acceptability. {S}everal infectious causes of miscarriage could be tested using self-vaginal samples. {I}n the future, such strategies coupled with a rapid-identification point-of-care method could allow the development of screening and treatment programs in rural areas in low-resource countries.},
