A vaginal probiotics suppository boosts the friendly bacteria present in the vagina, ensuring pH levels remain balanced to maximise vaginal health and prevent discomfort, odour and recurring BV and vaginal infections. The use of vaginal probiotics has shown to improve vaginal flora, increase the beneficial bacteria and reduce the harmful bacteria. Clinical evidence shows that probiotics are effective in the treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). Normal vaginal pH levels vary between 3.8 and 5.0.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus is particularly useful at preventing and killing BV and quickly combats vaginal discomfort. Some women experience itching, burning, a white discharge and discomfort during sex. Semen can trigger the growth of bacteria, leaving it less protected against infection. Miraculously, women with chronic recurring BV infections have reported that using vaginal probiotics have helped them maintain healthy vaginal flora and prevent the yo-yo cycle of infection & medication.
All GYNTIMA probiotics undergo rigorous clinical tests such as microbiology controls, chemical-physical tests, dermal tolerance, and health & safety to ensure the quality and efficacy of the product. Gyntima Probiotic can be used as a treatment for BV and vaginal discomfort and for on-going BV prevention.
What are vaginal probiotics?
Vaginal probiotics are a type of treatment - usually in the form of suppositories - that support a healthy balance of good bacteria in the vagina known as vaginal microbiome. Made up of live cultures, vaginal probiotics work by boosting the good bacteria naturally found in the vagina to balance pH levels. This can help to prevent and treat vaginal infections.
Is a vaginal probiotics suppository safe?
Vaginal suppositories are generally safe for most people when used in line with the instructions. However, it’s essential to avoid overuse, as improper use can lead to irritation. Always speak to a healthcare provider if you’re pregnant, have an existing condition, or experience persistent discomfort or unusual symptoms.
How should I use my vaginal probiotics?
Hold the suppository with the pointed end facing you, then gently insert it into your vagina using your index finger and thumb. Push it in as far as is comfortable, angling it slightly towards your lower back rather than in a straight position.
What conditions can vaginal probiotics help with?
Vaginal probiotics can help to ward off bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, as well as helping to tackle a pH imbalance.
Are there any side effects of using vaginal probiotics?
Potential side effects could include mild irritation or discharge, back pain or stomach upset. While uncommon, people who suffer with dairy or yeast intolerances might be allergic to probiotics, and may experience a hive-like rash. This is because probiotics often contain lactobacillus, a bacterium also found in dairy and yeast-based products.
