Lactobacillus association with pelvic pain
Urinary Microbiome and Cytokine Levels in Women With Interstitial Cystitis.
Study relevance remains unclear
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 show mixed results
The role of probiotics in improving menstrual health in women with primary dysmenorrhoea: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (the PERIOD study).
Moderate relevance; further study needed
We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial with 72 women to explore whether oral probiotics could enhance quality of life for those suffering from primary dysmenorrhea over three months.

While we observed improvements in mental health and a potential decrease in the need for pain relief medication, the probiotics did not significantly alter inflammatory markers in our study.

These findings suggest that probiotics may bring some benefits, but further studies with larger groups are necessary to fully understand their impact.

Effective relief
After trying various probiotics unsuccessfully for years, this one really worked for me. I experienced significant gas soon after taking it, which indicated that it was effective. Most importantly, I was finally pain-free from my digestive issues.

Improved digestion
I was seeking only Lactobacillus acidophilus with biotin support. This product contains just that, and I could take it confidently. I adjust the dosage based on my symptoms, taking it once to four times daily with water, especially on an empty stomach. I experienced no stomach pain, and my bowel movements and skin condition improved.

Mixed results
I gave this to my mum and she liked it; her digestion improved and her microbiome balance has been restored. However, it didn't work for me and I still experienced pelvic pain and bloating. I wouldn't buy it again.

Reduced IBS pain
This probiotic has been a great help for my IBS. It's essential to take it consistently for best results. Now I am mostly pain-free, which is excellent.
