Abstract in brief

  • This review investigates whether probiotics are effective and safe for treating vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) in nonpregnant women, focusing on their potential to restore healthy vaginal bacteria and resist Candida infections.
  • The researchers analyzed data from 10 randomized controlled trials involving 1,656 women, all of which tested probiotics alongside standard antifungal treatments; none of these trials were funded by industry.
  • The findings suggest that using probiotics as an additional treatment may improve short-term clinical outcomes, although the overall quality of evidence and long-term effects need further investigation.

@IndigoMarta @beisurkel @Lgalcer @virginut En ciencia se debe probar que algo funciona, en este estudio se llega a la conclusión de que no hay pruebas de que los probióticos funcionen para la candidiasis vaginal https://t.co/6JSdvA7Ac6
