No Embarrassment : Probiotics may be helpful: lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus rhamnosus, & streptococcus thermophilus . Also avoid douching. Always feel free to come in & see your provider, this is not something to feel shy about at all. Caring for whatever does not feel well to you is what we are here for & we respect all of your body & health. Rash, sore ear, pelvic infection, tummy ache-all deserve help!
