Lactobacillus association with pelvic pain
Urinary Microbiome and Cytokine Levels in Women With Interstitial Cystitis.
Most Relevant Research
We examined the urinary microbiome of women with interstitial cystitis and found it less diverse and containing fewer Lactobacillus acidophilus compared to a control group.
This lack of Lactobacillus was linked to more severe symptoms and poor quality of life. While we noted some associations between higher inflammatory markers and the severity of symptoms, we didn’t see a clear causal relationship.
Essentially, we’re still unsure if the presence of Lactobacillus can effectively reduce pelvic pain in this context.

Probiotics repair DNA in GERD
sp. Facilitate the Repair of DNA Damage Caused by Bile-Induced Reactive Oxygen Species in Experimental Models of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.
Most Relevant Research
