Expert Insights on the Role of Probiotics in Supporting Women’s Health

The vaginal microbiome plays a critical role in maintaining women’s health throughout different life stages. A 2026 international expert roundtable explored the current evidence surrounding probiotics and their potential role in supporting vaginal health, reducing recurrent infections, and improving outcomes in several women’s health conditions. The discussion brought together experts in gynaecology, obstetrics, microbiome research, general practice, nutrition, and reproductive health from across Europe and North America.

The panel highlighted growing evidence supporting strain-specific probiotics in selected women’s health conditions, while also emphasising the need for stronger clinical guidelines, improved healthcare professional education, and more robust strain-specific research.

The expert panel discussed:

  • Why the vaginal microbiome matters
  • Bacterial vaginosis and vaginal dysbiosis
  • Reproductive outcomes
  • PMOS and menstrual health
  • Menopause
  • Why strain specificity matters
