Bacterial vaginosis is a non-STI (sexually-transmitted infection) affecting the vagina with discharge and odor. Women who used a probiotic vaginal suppository had fewer recurrences of bacterial vaginosis. The suppositories contained Lactobacillus rhamnosus, L acidophilus, and Steptococcus thermophilus. Women who ate L Acidophilus yogurt had fewer episodes of bacterial vaginosis, but not of vulvovaginal candidiasis.
So, if you are a vaginosis sufferer, consider supplementing at the grocery/health food store.
Hope this helps.
