How it works

Lactobacillus species maintain an acidic vaginal environment that inhibits colonisation by uropathogens including E. coli.

Evidence strongest for vaginal probiotic application. Oral probiotics show more variable results. Most relevant for women with recurrent UTIs.

Why limited evidence

Mixed evidence β€” some trials show benefit for recurrent UTI prevention, others show no significant effect. Strain specificity matters significantly.

β€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
