The article raises important issues regarding the use of diet and probiotics in prevention and treatment of vaginitis. Vaginitis is defined as any condition with symptoms of abnormal vaginal discharge. The most common causes of vaginitis are vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis (BV). Vaginitis has been linked to itching, burning, pain, discharge, irritation and also adverse reproductive and obstetric health outcomes. Moreover, microorganisms that build vaginal flora in the state of bacterial vaginosis are a source of cervicitis and endometritis (often in subclinical forms) and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) The proper diet and probiotics consumption may influence the composition of the gut microbiota, improve gut integrity, and have an impact on maintaining and recovering the normal vaginal microbiota. Future studies and reviews investigating the role of diet and probiotics in changes to gut and vaginal microbiome need to focus on deciphering the mechanismus of host bacteria interaction in vulvovaginal health.
这篇文章提出了关于饮食和益生菌在阴道炎的预防和治疗中的应用的重要问题。阴道炎被定义为任何有异常阴道分泌物症状的疾病。阴道炎最常见的原因是外阴阴道念珠菌病（VVC）、滴虫病和细菌性阴道病（BV）。阴道炎与瘙痒、烧灼感、疼痛、分泌物、刺激有关，也与不良生殖和产科健康结局有关。此外，在细菌性阴道病状态下构建阴道菌群的微生物是宫颈炎和子宫内膜炎（常为亚临床形式）和盆腔炎（PID）的来源。适当的饮食和益生菌的摄入可能会影响肠道微生物群的组成，改善肠道完整性，并对维持和恢复正常阴道微生物群产生影响。未来研究和综述调查饮食和益生菌在肠道和阴道微生物组变化中的作用，需要专注于破解宿主细菌相互作用在阴道健康中的机制。
