A member asked:
Female work discussion: do probiotics inserted vaginally work for yeast infections? yes/no/why? can it make things worse if unsure about having yi?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Probiotics are not harmful but will probably not eradicate an established yeast infection. Once the infection is treated, probiotics ingested orally may help prevent yeast. Anything to help maintain healthy vaginal pH balance between 4-4.5 can help prevent yeast and bacterial vaginal infection.
