Probiotics in the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis as hydrogen peroxide1, 2,4,5,6. A number of factors are thought to disturb the balance of vaginal micro-flora, including repeated antibiotic use, hormonal imbalances, chronic stress and a processed diet7, 9. Opportunistic pathogens, such as the yeast Candida, may take advantage of this change in the vaginal environment. Although Candida is commonly found in the intestine and vagina of healthy individuals without symptoms8, the Candida…

Vaginal Microbiota and the Use of Probiotics
TLDR
In vitro studies have shown that Lactobacillus strains can disrupt BV and yeast biofilms and inhibit the growth of urogenital pathogens, including supplementation of antimicrobial treatment to improve cure rates and prevent recurrences.
Oral use of probiotics as an adjunctive therapy to fluconazole in the treatment of yeast vaginitis: A study of Nigerian women in an outdoor clinic
TLDR
The study shows that adjunctive treatment with probiotic L. rhamnosus GR-1 and L. reuteri RC-14 did not impact the cure rate at day 7, but did lead to fewer vulvovaginitis recurrences, suggesting the need for a more active education programme in Nigeria on clinical trials per se and probiotics in particular.
Targeting the vaginal microbiota with probiotics as a means to counteract infections
TLDR
The mechanisms whereby certain probiotic lactobacilli improve urogenital health include immune modulation, pathogen displacement and creation of a niche less conducive to proliferation of pathogens and their virulence factors.
Monthly Itraconazole Versus Classic Homeopathy for the Treatment of Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis A Randomized Trial
TLDR
Findings are consistent with other earlier studies showing that itraconazole is more effective for treatment of RVVC than classic homeopathic remedy and there was no added benefit with lactobacilli.
Effect of lactobacillus in preventing post-antibiotic vulvovaginal candidiasis: a randomised controlled trial
TLDR
The use of oral or vaginal forms of lactobacillus to prevent post-antibiotic vulvovaginitis is not supported by these results.
Ingestion of yogurt containing Lactobacillus acidophilus compared with pasteurized yogurt as prophylaxis for recurrent candidal vaginitis and bacterial vaginosis.
TLDR
It is concluded that daily ingestion of 150 mL of yogurt, enriched with live L acidophilus, was associated with an increased prevalence of colonization of the rectum and vagina by the bacteria, and this ingestion of yogurt may have reduced episodes of BV.

Adherence of Human Vaginal Lactobacilli to Vaginal Epithelial Cells and Interaction with Uropathogens
TLDR
Three strains of Lactobacillus, identified as L. acidophilus, L. gasseri, and L. jensenii, were selected from among 70 isolates from the vaginas of healthy premenopausal women for properties relevant to mucosal colonization or antagonism, and all self-aggregated and adhered to epithelial vaginal cells.
Utilization of the Intestinal Tract as a Delivery System for Urogenital Probiotics
TLDR
The authors investigate the ability of lactobacilli isolated from the vagina to survive gastrointestinal tract transit, and establish a link between the rate of intestinal survival and vaginal colonization.
