Vaginitis is one of the most common gynecological problems diagnosed by primary care physicians. In this article we wanted to describe the different types of vaginitis, their symptoms and the different drug treatments. The presence of recurrent episodes and the re-exposure to antibiotics can cause adverse reactions and suggesting the need for alternative treatment. Numerous studies propose the use of probiotics for the treatment of this pathology basing on the regulatory capacity that probiotics have on the vaginal microbiota. This capacity is due to the ability to maintain vaginal pH ≤ 4.5, the production of biosurfactants and blocking adhesion of uropathogens. The fact that the colonization of the genitourinary tract is faster when probiotics are administered vaginally suggesting that this kind of administration could have a lot of advantages.
