A member asked:
Vaginal microbiome test showed some amounts of faecalibacterium prausnitzii and bacteroides pleibius. can these gut bacteria be pathogenic inside the vagina? do they need to be eradicated from the vagina so that they do not proliferate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why was this test performed? These bacteria are just bystanders. You don’t need to eradicate anything.
