14:45 – 14:55 L39: Probiotics and Urogenital Health <br />
Jacqueline Jacques, ND (<strong>10</strong> Min) <br />
The human microbiome has proven to be a rich area of study in <br />
women’s health. The association between abnormal vaginal microbiota <br />
and increased risk for sexually transmitted infections, bladder and <br />
vaginal infections, and a higher rate of preterm labor all point to the <br />
possible use of supplemental flora – commonly referred to as probiotics <br />
– as possible therapeutic agents. This presentation will review literature <br />
related to the use of probiotics in maintaining female vaginal and <br />
bladder health. We will focus on commonly encountered health <br />
challenges and the areas best supported by clinical research data. <br />
