A member asked:
Is it okay to put plain yogurt in your vagina for bv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Generally, BV is treated with an antibiotic which works well, but can interfere with the normal lactobacillus bacteria in the vagina. A live yogurt culture contains lactobacillus which can restore the normal balance of bacteria. Using commercially available yogurt which is pasteurized to kill the bacteria and which is often sweetened will not be effective and may cause yeast.
