Innovative probiotic PROVAG - food supplement
Menopause
The term “menopause” means the end of menstruation. As already mentioned, protective vaginal flora is strongly related to production of hormones, i.e. ovary function. In the postmenopausal period, the number of protective lactic acid bacteria decreases in the content of the vagina and an increase of pH (due to reduction of ovary function), which predisposes to infection. It concerns especially sexually active women. Changes of vaginal flora are accompanied by atrophic changes of vaginal epithelium, production of substances which are medium for protective bacteria decreases, vaginal walls become dry. Altogether these factors promote injuries and pain upon sexual intercourses. Atrophy concerns also the cervix.
The use of hormonal replacement therapy or intravaginal hormones gradually restores balance for vaginal flora. The effective support of this process is the use of gynaecological probiotics.
