We can't see all 1,000 types of microbes that live on our skin or mucous membranes, but we can feel their daily influence.
The microbiota of the skin and mucous membranes acts as a protective shield for our body. A strong, balanced microbiome is essential to our health.
Lactobacilli are the most abundant in the vaginal microbiota, and their function is to reduce the risk of infection and complications that arise after infections. During a woman's life, the composition of the vaginal microbiota changes with the structure of the vaginal epithelium and with hormonal activity, and one of the functions of the normal microbiota is to maintain the acidic pH status of the vagina.
What is a prebiotic and why is it used?
The term prebiotic was introduced into practice by Professor Gibson and Dr. Roberfroid in 1995, then in 2015 the definition was revised, so a prebiotic is a substance, that is, a substrate that our microbiota ('good bacteria') use for their growth, with the aim of improving our general health.
Or to explain even better, prebiotics are in a way food necessary for our shield, that is, our 'good bacteria'. These are mainly short-chain carbohydrates that can be found naturally in fruits and vegetables.
One of the most famous prebiotics is inulin - a versatile prebiotic.
Inulin is a polysaccharide and food for bacteria found in our intestines and genital tract. Many people confuse probiotics and prebiotics. The difference is that probiotics are live microorganisms that help maintain a healthy gut and genital microbiota, and prebiotics are insoluble fibers that help probiotics grow and survive. So without prebiotics, the function of probiotics would be compromised.
How does a prebiotic help strengthen healthy vaginal microflora?
Very easy, if we know that most of the "good" bacteria are those of the genus Lactobaccilus (lactobacilli).
Numerous studies have confirmed the stimulating effect of inulin on the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, and "feeding" these bacteria with inulin allows them to overcome potentially harmful bacteria.
Prebiotics are an innovative solution to the problems of vaginal infections. In order to make the treatment of vaginal infections as successful as possible, apart from the use of antibiotics (for bacterial vaginosis) and antifungals (for fungal infections), it is important to restore the flora of lactobacilli, in order to reduce the possibility of recurrence. And precisely, for that renewal, prebiotics are necessary.
The concept of the use of prebiotics in the general strengthening of health was first applied to the stimulation and preservation of the intestinal microbiota, and then the wider potential and application in the restoration of the vaginal microbiota was considered.
