A member asked:

For what length of time do probiotics take to cure yeast infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: All probiotics are not the same and it depends and some probiotics are useless and do not work at all for vaginal yeast infection and others which are sometime and somewhat effective may take days to weeks if they work in my opinion.
