A member asked:
When you take a probiotic pill form, does it only stay in digestive system for good/bad bacteria? or circulate throughout for vaginal bacteria too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gut only: Since these are meant to re-populate the gut with "good bacteria", they should not be systemic.
