Within the delicate ecosystem of the vaginal mucosa, a complex microbial community thrives, whose balanced activity ensures the maintenance of an optimal acidic environment. A pivotal role in this process is played by lactic acid-producing rod-shaped bacteria of the genus *Lactobacillus*, whose metabolic byproducts—primarily lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and bacteriocins—form a multilayered defense against pathogenic microorganisms, thereby preventing the development of fungal infections, bacterial inflammations, and dysbiosis-related inflammatory conditions.
Probiotics for women
The composition of the bacterial flora varies with a woman's age. It depends on a number of factors. When there is a disorder of the flora due to the aforementioned events, it can lead to unpleasant consequences such as inflammation with the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms, urinary tract infections, bacterial vaginosis or yeast. As a result of these changes, we may experience discomfort, fever, baking, or frequent fluctuations.
Gynaecological probiotics
Gynaecological probiotics can be taken either by mouth or by mouth, but the effects of the probiotic tablets should be waited for about 2 weeks. There are oral tablets, probiotikals, tampons and probiotical pads on the market. Oral tablets are a simple and convenient solution, especially when we want to provide preventive protection against infections. This form also supplements the bacterial microflora during infection, but we should wait for the effect of the antibiotic tablet for about two weeks. Probiotics are found in fertilised milk and vegetables.
