Vaginal flora, also known as vaginal microbiota, plays an essential role in your daily intimate well-being. Composed primarily of protective lactobacilli, it maintains an acidic environment that protects you from infections and guarantees comfort and freshness.
When this delicate balance is disturbed, certain unpleasantness can quickly set in and affect your quality of life: discomfort, itching, unpleasant odors, repeated infections, etc.
We will see how to recognize the symptoms of an unbalanced vaginal flora and give you advice on how to naturally regain your intimate balance.
⚠️ If in doubt or if symptoms persist, always consult a general practitioner or gynecologist to obtain an accurate diagnosis.
Why is vaginal flora so important?
A unique protective ecosystem
A healthy vaginal microbiota acts as a natural shield. The lactobacilli it contains maintain an acidic pH (around 4), which prevents the proliferation of unwanted germs responsible for infections such as yeast infections or cystitis.
When the balance is broken
When this balance is disrupted by stress, hormonal changes, certain medications, poor hygiene, or even synthetic underwear, the vaginal flora can weaken. As a result, the environment becomes more conducive to discomfort and infections.
Symptoms of an unbalanced vaginal flora
Identifying the symptoms of a disturbed vaginal flora is the first step to acting quickly and regaining your intimate comfort.
1. Persistent itching and irritation
Recurring burning, tingling, or itching sensations, especially after intercourse or during menstruation, may indicate a microbial imbalance.
2. Unusual vaginal discharge
- Change of appearance: More abundant losses, of different colors (yellowish, grayish) or of a "cottage cheese" appearance may indicate dysbiosis.
- Change of smell: A "fishy" or particularly unpleasant odor, even after normal hygiene, is often linked to a bacterial imbalance.
3. Vaginal dryness
A feeling of persistent dryness, sometimes accompanied by pain during intercourse, may indicate a lack of protective lactobacilli.
4. Recurrent urinary tract infections
Regularly recurring cystitis may be linked to weakened vaginal flora that no longer provides sufficient protection against the migration of bacteria to the urethra.
5. Recurring mycoses
Fungal infections (Candida) that recur despite treatment can reveal a permanently unbalanced vaginal microbiota.
6. Increased sensitivity
A vulva that is more sensitive to friction, underwear or usual hygiene products may reflect a mucous membrane weakened by a microbial imbalance.
Factors that weaken the vaginal flora
- Drug treatments: Antibiotics, antifungals, and birth control pills can disrupt the natural balance.
- Hormonal upheavals: Periods, pregnancy, menopause modify the vaginal environment.
- Inadequate hygiene: Washing too frequently or with aggressive products, vaginal douching.
- Lifestyle: Chronic stress, fatigue, unbalanced diet weaken natural defenses.
- Clothes : Synthetic underwear and tight clothing promote maceration.
How to restore the balance of your vaginal flora naturally?
Although only a healthcare professional can make a diagnosis, there are simple steps you can take to support the comfort and vitality of your intimate microbiota.
1. Adopt gentle and appropriate hygiene
- Use a mild, pH-neutral soap, only for the vulva (never inside)
- Avoid douching which disrupts the natural balance
- Choose cotton underwear, changed daily
- Always wipe from front to back after using the toilet
2. Support your microbiota with targeted probiotics
Our Intimate Well-being solution contains 3 strains of lactobacilli specifically selected to restore vaginal balance:
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus : protects against fungal and bacterial infections
- Lactobacillus reuteri : maintains natural acidity and fights pathogens
- Lactobacillus crispatus : colonizes the mucosa to establish a balanced flora
These probiotics work directly where you need them to restore comfort and balance.
3. Prevent recurring urinary tract infections
Our Uro Zen supplement combines D-mannose to trap pathogenic bacteria and prevent them from attaching to the urinary tract walls.
Ideal if you suffer from repeated cystitis linked to an imbalance in your intimate flora.
4. Understand your profile precisely with an analysis
Our analysis of the vaginal microbiota reveals the exact composition of your intimate flora to identify specific imbalances and receive personalized recommendations.
Finally, precise answers to your questions: "Why do I keep getting yeast infections?", "Where do these recurring irritations come from?"
5. Adopt protective habits
- Food : Limit sugar which feeds pathogenic fungi, favor foods rich in probiotics (yogurts, kefir).
- Hydration: Drink enough water to help flush out toxins.
- Stress management: Practice relaxing activities because stress weakens your natural defenses.
- Restorative sleep: Proper rest strengthens your overall immunity.
