Study of vaginal probiotic for recurrent UTIs
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special vaginal probiotic (Lactobacillus) can help prevent repeat urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women who get them often. By restoring good bacteria in the urinary tract, the goal is to reduce the number of UTIs and the need for antibiotics.
