First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether vaginal capsules containing two types of Lactobacillus probiotics can treat bacterial vaginosis, a common vaginal infection. Sixty-six women received either the probiotic capsule or a placebo. The goal was to see if the probiotics could restore normal vaginal conditions and clear the infection. Results may point to a gentler alternative to antibiotics.
