I’m Looking for VAGINAL ( not oral) Probiotics

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hey ladies. Please help. I was in Canada last week and I purchased some OTC fluconazole and vaginal probiotics. I don’t want to use the brand name because I think it should against the rules. I read somewhere that for resistant vaginal issues I can take fluconazole 150mg once every three days x 3 doses and then once monthly for six months. So I’m doing this as well as trying to tackle the BV imbalance.  

For BV I am using lots of acids. I ordered lactic acid I use three times a week. I’m also using boric acid twice a day. I started as soon as my cycle came and I’m washing with acetic acid with mother every time I pee. I’m using oral probiotics but I want some more of the vaginal ones as well. So if anyone finds a strong vaginal probiotic that’s at least 10^9 cfu please let me know.

    There is a brand called Rephresh that has both oral probiotic and a vaginal gel. I have never used the gel but I read in other discussions that it has worked well. I have used the oral probiotic for a couple of years now, and at first it seemed to work really well but I feel that once my body got use to it, it doesn't really make a huge difference. I currently use boric acid suppositories to keep everything at bay, it is the only thing that has worked for me. Even though it isn't an end-all solution I now use it about once a week or when symptoms, it relieves all symptoms.
