If you have vaginal problems, maybe probiotics could be your savior?
Hello, this is John. What do you think of when you hear the word "probiotics"? You may have a strong image of things like yogurt or lactobacillus drinks that help regulate your stomach. But did you know that probiotics may actually be useful for delicate problems specific to women?
This time, I would like to talk about the relationship between women's vaginal health and probiotics in an easy-to-understand manner based on the latest research. If you're thinking, "I feel something's not right in my private parts, but I don't want to go to the hospital...", please read on.
First of all, what are "probiotics"?
First, a quick recap on what probiotics are.
Probiotics are good for our bodies"Good bacteria"It is known to regulate the intestinal environment, but it is actually present in our mouths, on our skin, and even in women's vaginas, where it protects the body from various harmful bacteria. It's like a little cheering squad inside our bodies.
Women's vaginal problems and probiotics
Common concerns about women's delicate areas include "candidal vaginitis" and "bacterial vaginosis."
- Candida vaginitis: It is characterized by itching and a runny vaginal discharge.
- Bacterial vaginosis: The vaginal discharge may increase in volume and have a distinctive fishy smell.
These symptoms are more likely to occur when the balance of bacteria in the vagina is disrupted, in other words, when the good bacteria decrease and the bad bacteria increase. The collection of bacteria in the vagina is technically called the "vaginal flora" (imagine a flower garden with a good balance of various bacteria), and this balance is very important.
Now, here comes the main topic. Recent research has shown thatTaking probiotics may help balance the vaginal flora and improve not only candidal vaginitis but also other gynecological disorders.It is suggested!
Research shows the power of probiotics
Research has shown that taking certain types of probiotics (particularly Lactobacillus, a type of lactic acid bacteria) may help:
- Increases good bacteria in the vagina and suppresses the growth of bad bacteria.
- Helps maintain a healthy, slightly acidic environment inside the vagina.
- This creates an environment that is inhospitable to Candida and other bad bacteria.
In other words, probiotics may act as a kind of cleaner or guard for the vagina, helping to create a vaginal environment that is less prone to problems.
How do you take probiotics?
There are two main ways to take probiotics.
- From the diet:
Fermented foods such as yogurt, cheese, natto, kimchi, and miso are rich in probiotics. We should actively incorporate them into our daily meals. - Take it as a supplement:
If you want to take in specific types of bacteria more easily and efficiently, supplements are also an effective option. Recently, probiotic supplements specifically designed for women's vaginal environments have become available.
However, when choosing a supplement, it is recommended that you check what types and amounts of bacteria are included and, if possible, consult a doctor or specialist.
Important: Consult a medical professional first
Probiotics are a promising approach to supporting vaginal health, but they're not a cure-all. If you're already experiencing symptoms like itching, abnormal vaginal discharge, or an unpleasant odor, don't self-diagnose.The most important thing is to first visit a gynecologist and receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment..
In addition, it would be a good idea to incorporate probiotics into your routine to prevent recurrence after treatment and as part of your daily health maintenance.
