Probiotics
Removing the fishy odor does not only mean external cleaning. An individual can likewise do it internally. This is because the human body contains bacteria. Although some cause illness or disease, the body also needs other bacteria for good health and to maintain a healthy internal balance. Often, the imbalance is due to some health issues, a course of antibiotics, illness, or stress. In this case, probiotics can provide a solution.
Probiotics comprise good bacteria, similar to the bacteria in human bodies. Excellent sources of probiotics are tempeh, kimchi, kombucha, kefir, sauerkraut, and yogurt. Probiotics care also found as supplements in oral form, which are safe and provide several benefits for vaginal and digestive health.
Additional research on using Lactobacillus acidophilus for unpleasant vaginal smell focuses on the odor caused by bacterial vaginosis (BV). The initial results of the research suggest that probiotics help prevent BV and the restoration of healthy vaginal flora and vaginal pH. However, researchers say they need to conduct more studies to make the study more conclusive.
