How important is the Lactobacillus microorganism to the female reproductive system?
Normally, within the female reproductive system there are bacteria that live together, both good bacteria and bad bacteria.
Most of the good bacteria are “Lactobacillus” microorganisms that have the ability to break down glycogen starch created from the vaginal wall mucosa into lactic acid, giving the vagina a valuable weak acidic environment. A pH of approximately 4.5 allows lactobacilli to thrive while inhibiting the growth of other pathogenic bacteria that are harmful to the vagina.
Including helping to inhibit the growth of Gardnerella vaginitis bacteria that causes vaginitis and odor, and inhibiting the growth of fungus in the vagina, as well as helping to prevent repeated yeast infections.
If the microorganisms in the body are out of balance, it can cause vaginal infections, an unbalanced pH level in the vagina, pelvic floor infections, urinary tract infections, and sexually transmitted infections, inflammation in the body contribute to polycystic ovary syndrome. (POCS), blocked fallopian tubes, irregular menstrual cycles which is a factor in infertility.
Additionally, in 2015, researchers from Rutgers University discovered Lactobacillus bacteria in the intact uterine lining, and in 2016 Dr. Morano from Stanford University has reported that an imbalance of the gut microbiota affects the endometrial microbiome, which may cause unsuccessful treatment for infertility.
