You'll probably start to notice changes from age 10 upwards, but there's no right or wrong time to start. Some people go through puberty later than others. This is normal. If you have no signs of puberty by the age of 16, see a doctor for a check-up.
The probiotic strain Lactobacillus is used to treat BV and other bacterial genitourinary infections. It works by restoring a healthy microflora balance to the urogenital tract and preventing the spread of pathogenic bacteria. There are a number of different probiotic products available to address BV symptoms.
Research has explored the probiotic effects of combining Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. These strains are believed to improve symptoms of diarrhea, digestive conditions like IBS, improve resistance to colds and to enhance the immune response.
