A member asked:

I've read where it's safe to insert acidophilus capsules vaginally and did this last night -my question is does the capsule just dissolve?

Dr. Randy Baker answered

Specializes in Holistic Medicine

Yes: This is quite safe and often effective and yes, the capsule will dissolve, just as it does in your stomach (though it might take longer to dissolve than when in your stomach).
