Probiotics: Please follow up with your PCP or during a virtual consultation. You may start a probiotic, but you may need a medication to treat the infection. A Healthtap inbox or virtual consultation with a specialist is available.

Safe: but ineffective. There is lack of objective evidence that probiotics prevent or treat any illness. You may try over the counter yeast treatment. Get HPV vaccine Wish you good health!
