The microbiome has garnered the attention of the scientific community in recent years with a plethora of published research that supports the efficacy of probiotic use to balance gut microflora. But did you know that the microbiome and the research that supports alterations with probiotic use extend beyond the gut to other areas of the body, including the vagina and urogenital area? Internal and external influences, including stress, unhealthy diet, food sensitivities, antibiotics, and environmental factors, can disturb the balance of this finely tuned microbial community. In fact, most women will experience vaginal dysbiosis and symptoms of microflora imbalance at some point in their lifetime.
