Harvard Health says “vaginal probiotics are touted as a way to introduce live microorganisms into your vagina to improve health. It is true that your vagina, like your digestive tract, is teeming with beneficial bacteria and other microorganisms”.
When this balance of good bacteria becomes unbalanced it creates a perfect place for bad bacteria to grow, which can result in odor, irritation or infections.
Studies show that the probiotics can help prevent and treat vaginal imbalance issues says Mindy Haar, PhD, RDN, CSN of the New York Institute of Technology’s department of Interdisciplinary Health Sciences. Vaginal imbalances can lead to many things such as urinary tract infections.
