Are probiotics helpful against vaginal infections?
The vaginal region has a higher concentration of bacteria than any other part of the body outside of the human intestines. Primarily, these bacteria consist of lactobacilli and are collectively referred to as the vaginal flora. A well balanced vaginal flora is essential for a woman’s vaginal health. Probiotics support a woman’s protective vaginal flora and studies have shown that probiotics, ingested orally or applied topically, can help protect against vaginal infection.
