ABSTRACT
The different Lactobacillus strains of probiotics have been applied to the treatment and prevention of bacterial vaginosis and vulvovaginal candidiasis. The experimental data demonstrated that it works well via reducing the number of harmful bacteria, maintaining the acidic microenvironment, inhibiting the immune response, and so on, to restore the vaginal microecology. However, the clinical data indicated that it is not sufficient to support the use of probiotics in the intervention of vulvovaginal candidiasis rather than bacterial vaginosis. Hunting for novel probiotic strains and uncovering the precise mechanism of probiotics, especially with the new concept gut-vagina axis, to maintain the homeostasis of vaginal microbiota should be a great challenge in the future.
