Is there anything i can take daily to keep yeast & bacteria balanced in my body?

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Probably not: The vagina is self regulating - but sometimes the normal bacteria or yeast over grow and cause problems. Other issues like viruses and std's can also upset the balance. If you have a well balanced diet there is probably nothing specific that you can do to improve the balance of the microorganisms in and on your body.
