To support and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, consider the following: - Diet: Consuming a diet rich in probiotics (like yogurt, kefir, and fermented foods) and prebiotics (fiber-rich foods that feed beneficial bacteria) can be beneficial. - Supplements: Probiotic supplements specifically designed for vaginal health can help maintain the balance of beneficial bacteria. - Hygiene: Avoid douching and use mild, unscented soaps for genital hygiene. - Safe Sex Practices: Using condoms can prevent the introduction of harmful bacteria during sexual activity.
