| Abstrakt: | Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a universally prevalent cause of genital discomfort in females belonging to the reproductive age group, rendering the vagina more susceptible to various other complications. The standard treatment of BV involves using metronidazole and clindamycin, which help eliminate the infection but play no role in re-flourishing the normal vaginal homeostasis, which is lactobacilli preponderant, thereby rendering the vagina more prone to re-infection. Hence, clinical research has been performed to increase vaginal lactobacillus count through oral or vaginal supplementation. This current study's main objective is to review the previously conducted research regarding the efficiency of probiotic supplementation in the prevention and treatment of BV. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. (Copyright © 2020, Mohammed et al.) |
