What Experts Say

A healthy vagina is dominated by lactobacilli. These friendly bacteria make lactic acid, which keeps the vagina slightly acidic and makes it hard for harmful germs and yeast to grow. Its live cultures need to stay alive, so correct storage matters.

Antibiotics, hormonal changes, douching, and infections can reduce these bacteria. Fermalac supplies live lactobacilli and related bacteria straight into the vagina to help rebuild this balance. Doctors sometimes suggest such a probiotic after a course of vaginal or oral antibiotics, when flora is most disturbed.

It is meant as an add on to proper treatment and not a replacement for it. Evidence for probiotics is still limited, so results vary from person to person. Itching, unusual or smelly discharge, fever, or pelvic pain needs a doctor, as an infection may need an antibiotic or antifungal medicine. Cotton underwear, avoiding scented washes, and good hygiene also help protect vaginal balance.
