A member asked:

Can acidophilus pills used for the digestive tract reduce vagina oders?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, not directly: Acidophilus is a probiotic which helps replenish the colon's 'good' bacteria. This helps our immune system better keep all the body's bacteria in check, inclding the vagina. Usually, odors are from an overgrowth of bacteria. However, they can be from many other factors.
