YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT WITH WHAT????!!
Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, our bodies have formed a mutually beneficial relationship with the bacteria in our gut. Mostly, people think of taking probiotics like lactobacillus or acidopholus for gastrointestinal issues. However, these bacteria are also normal residents of the vaginal vault and keep the pH at the appropriate level as well as keep other bacteria and yeast from growing. This will also prevent E. coli from making it to the urethra and causing a urinary tract infection.
Even more important, healthy bacterial flora presents the first exposure for a newborn as it travels through the birth canal, providing the right blend of bacteria for the developing immune system of the infant. So yes, douching or (in the case of this study) adding capsules to the vaginal vault lowered the risk of bacterial vaginosis. A much better alternative than long term use of antibiotics.
Funny how the things that seem to work are sometimes the exact opposite of what the “normal” recommendations are…
