Can probiotics help with vaginal atrophy?

Probiotics may support vaginal flora and general vaginal health, but current evidence does not show that they can treat or reverse vaginal atrophy. They may be helpful as an adjunct for preventing infections.

Clinical Context

Probiotics may support vaginal and urinary tract health but cannot replace medical therapies for atrophy.

Evidence-Based Approaches

Probiotics are not recommended by UK guidelines as a treatment for vaginal atrophy. RCOG: Vaginal Health & Probiotics.
