Does anyone know if you can insert women's optima primadophilus vaginally even though they are oral. And does it work @curing BV?

    I do not know about that specific brand though another I bought suggested using the oral capsule probiotics vaginally for infections. I did this nightly and used panty liners as things got messy and that in conjunction with oral probiotics seemed to work great. My NMD also was on board for this course.

      Yes though by nature it will create a new “environment” in a vaginal canal. For me personally it seemed to be best if I inserted at night before I was still for about 6-8hrs to let it dissolve and the “good bacteria” spread
