Dr Wolff’s V-san Lactic Acid to support the vaginal flora. An imbalance in the vaginal flora (also called ‘dysbiosis’), left untreated, can grow into a bacterial vaginal infection. A pH from 3.8 to 4.4 is normal, and can be achieved by rapid acidification with lactic acid.

Treatment: 1 pessary in the evening, for 5 – 7 days

Prevention: 1 pessary in the evening, 2–3 x per week

Vaginal yeast infections occur due to an imbalance in the vaginal flora with highly excessive yeast populations. Restore and/or stabilise a strong defensive vaginal flora with probiotics after treating a yeast infection with drugs.

Oral or vaginal probiotics may be useful to restore/stabilise the vaginal flora.Please talk to your doctor about the right product for you.

Hormonal fluctuations may also affect the vaginal flora and so be accompanied by vaginal infections. The acidification of the vagina with lactic acid supports the remaining vaginal flora and thus helps prevent vaginal infections.Dr Wolff’s V-san Lactic Acid for Prevention: 1 pessary in the evening, 2–3 x per week

Bacterial vaginal infections are usually treated initially with drugs. Some of these drugs also kill the ‘good’ lactobacilli; in these cases a subsequent treatment with probiotics makes sense to restore the vaginal flora. Dr Wolff’s V-san Lactic Acid may indeed support probiotic treatment as it acidifies the vaginal environment quickly.

The hormonal balance changes during pregnancy, which can lead to an imbalance in the vaginal flora. An imbalance in the vaginal flora, left untreated, can grow into a bacterial vaginal infection. Because an imbalance in the vaginal flora, like a bacterial vaginal infection, raises the risk of premature birth, it is important to check the vaginal environment regularly and maintain a healthy vaginal flora.Dr Wolff’s V-san Lactic Acid for Prevention: 1 pessary in the evening, 2–3 x per week

Taking antibiotics can affect the vaginal flora and disrupt the natural defence system in the vagina. Vaginal yeast infections often result. The vaginal use of probiotics AFTER completion of antibiotic therapy has the goal of restoring a strong defensive vaginal flora. Dr Wolff’s V-san Lactic Acid may indeed support probiotic treatment as it acidifies the vaginal environment quickly, thereby providing a good condition for adhesion and growth of the probiotics.

Sperm is alkaline (pH level greater than 7) and causes a temporary shift in the pH level of the vagina. Normally, the natural vaginal defence system corrects this shift. In women who are susceptible to recurrent vaginal infections, this correction may not work which can lead to a reappearance of the bacterial vaginal infection. The acidification of the vagina with lactic acid quickly counterbalances / buffers the alkalinity of the sperm and supports the existing vaginal flora. Dr Wolff’s V-san Lactic Acid After intercourse: 1 pessary in the evening

The vaginal application of antibiotics or other drugs for vaginal infections often kills the ‘good’ lactobacilli in the vagina along with the ‘bad’ or disease-causing pathogens. In such a case, it is helpful to restore the vaginal flora with probiotics after treatment is finished. Dr Wolff’s V-san Lactic Acid may indeed support probiotic treatment as it acidifies the vaginal environment quickly, thereby providing a good condition for adhesion and growth of the probiotics.

Menstrual blood is alkaline (pH level greater than 7) and causes a temporary shift in the pH level of the vagina. Normally, the natural vaginal defence system corrects this shift. In women who are susceptible to recurrent vaginal infections, this correction may not work quickly enough, which can lead to a reappearance of the bacterial vaginal infection, particularly after menstruation. The acidification of the vagina with lactic acid quickly counterbalances / buffers the alkalinity of the blood and supports the existing vaginal flora. Dr Wolff’s V-san Lactic Acid after menstruation: 1 pessary in the evening before going to bed
