Supporting women’s health from the inside out – ?

Healthy bacteria are required to support both the digestive tract and the genitourinary tract in women. For example, most urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused by a species of bacteria called Escherichia coli (E. coli), which generally live happily alongside the friendly bacteria strains/species in our gut and urogenital tract, but can sometimes grow and cause infection.

The genitourinary tract comprises both the urinary tract and the vagina and both contain a microbiome (bacteria) in the same way as the gastrointestinal tract. Lactobacillus is the primary bacteria of the vagina of healthy women and the growth of too many other strains can lead to an imbalance in the natural bacteria of the vagina.

This bacterial balance may be affected by a number of factors, including hormonal changes (particularly menopause), menstruation, childbirth, gut bacteria imbalance, sexual activity, contraceptives and antibiotics.
