Vulvovaginal discomfort is a common complaint in gynaecological patients. More frequently, the cause is dysbacteriosis rather
than infection. The condition tends to recur. In addition to anti-infective therapy, restoration of the vaginal milieu with probiotics
is recommended for both treatment and prevention.
