As you can see, the balance of the intimate flora is therefore essential to maintain a healthy environment. However, this balance can be put to the test by various factors such as inadequate intimate hygiene, the menstrual cycle, menopause, tobacco or even antibiotic treatment. Thus, a hormonal upheaval or an alkalinization of the pH of the intimate flora can potentially disrupt this ecosystem. To compensate for this imbalance, it is sometimes recommended to bring new beneficial bacteria, by taking intimate flora probiotics concentrated in Lactobacilli.
