Vaginalrestore Program

Recurrent vaginal infections are frequently driven by biofilm that over-the-counter and standard treatments can't fully clear. Our pharmacists test, interpret, and compound a personalized therapy to address the root cause.

Generally, a good vaginal hygiene program consists of:

Balanced Diet

  • Hydration: Adequate water intake helps maintain the body’s natural balance, including the vaginal area.
  • Probiotics: Foods rich in probiotics, like yogurt, kefir, and fermented foods, support the vaginal microbiome by promoting healthy bacteria like Lactobacillus.
  • Nutrient-Rich Foods: A diet rich in vitamins (especially vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin D) and minerals (like zinc and magnesium) supports immune function and overall vaginal health.
  • Avoiding Excess Sugar: High sugar intake can disrupt the balance of vaginal flora, potentially leading to infections like yeast.

Proper Hygiene

  • Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, fragrance-free soap to wash the vaginal area. The vagina is self-cleaning, and harsh products or excessive washing can disrupt the natural pH.
  • Avoid Douching: Douching can upset the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina, increasing the risk of infections.
  • Drying: After showering or swimming, make sure to dry the vaginal area thoroughly to prevent bacterial growth.

Regular Physical Activity

  • Exercise supports circulation, which is important for vaginal health. Regular physical activity can reduce stress and improve overall body function, including immune system strength.

Safe Sexual Practices

  • Use Protection: Condoms help reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which can affect vaginal health.
  • Post-Sexual Hygiene: Urinate after intercourse to help flush out any potential bacteria. It’s also helpful to shower after sex.
  • Lubrication: Using water-based or oil-based lubricants can prevent irritation and dryness during sex.

Regular Medical Checkups

  • Gynecological Exams: Regular visits to a gynecologist for check-ups are crucial for detecting any underlying issues, including infections or abnormal conditions like fibroids.
  • Pap Smears: These screenings help detect abnormal cell changes in the cervix that could lead to cancer.
  • STI Screenings: Regular testing for sexually transmitted infections helps maintain vaginal and reproductive health.

Understanding and Managing Menstrual Health

  • Use of Safe Menstrual Products: Choosing non-toxic, breathable menstrual products like organic cotton tampons, menstrual cups, or cloth pads can reduce irritation and prevent infections.
  • Managing Menstrual Irregularities: Addressing conditions like heavy periods, painful menstruation, or irregular cycles with professional guidance helps maintain overall vaginal health.

Stress Management

  • Chronic stress can impact hormone levels and immune function, which may affect vaginal health. Incorporating stress-relieving activities like meditation, yoga, and deep breathing exercises can help support overall health.

Knowledge of Vaginal Infections and Conditions

  • Yeast Infections: Understanding symptoms and how to treat or prevent them (e.g., using antifungal treatments and probiotics).
  • Bacterial Vaginosis: Recognizing symptoms such as unusual discharge and odor and seeking treatment early.
  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Knowing the signs of a UTI, like painful urination, and seeking prompt treatment can help avoid complications.
  • Vulvodynia or Vaginal Dryness: Identifying and managing chronic pain or dryness with appropriate medical interventions.

Rest and Sleep

  • Quality sleep is essential for the body’s healing and immune function. Ensuring adequate rest helps regulate hormone levels and supports vaginal health.

Avoiding Harmful Products

  • Fragrance-Free Products: Avoid using vaginal sprays, scented tampons, and douches, which can irritate sensitive skin.
  • Avoid Tight Clothing: Wearing tight-fitting clothes or synthetic underwear that doesn’t breathe can increase moisture, contributing to infections.

Supportive Supplements

  • Probiotics: Oral supplements may help maintain a healthy vaginal flora, especially after antibiotic treatment.
  • Vitamins and Minerals: Some may benefit from supplements like vitamin D, vitamin C, or zinc for overall immune support, but these should be used based on individual needs.

By focusing on these areas, individuals can establish a program that helps maintain healthy vaginal function, prevent infections, and address any concerns promptly. Regular consultation with a healthcare provider is also an important aspect of maintaining optimal vaginal health.

How can the Vaginalrestore Program help?

Our program is designed to educate patients and families on good vaginal hygiene. When an infection is identified, we partner with your provider to offer customized topical antibiotic prescriptions compounded in an anti-biofilm base to treat the specific organisms found. We also support repopulation of the vaginal flora with healthy bacteria to prevent recurrent infection.

  • Removing the biofilm protecting the bacteria
  • Treating the underlying infection with a targeted compounded prescription
  • Repopulating the vaginal biome with healthy bacteria through supplements

Supporting long-term microbiome balance with probiotic add-back therapy

Antibiotic therapy, even when effective at clearing an active infection, does not restore the healthy vaginal flora that keeps harmful bacteria in check. Without deliberate repopulation, the ecological vacuum left behind creates the ideal conditions for recurrence. Probiotic add-back therapy addresses this gap directly.

Lactobacillus species, particularly L. crispatus and L. rhamnosus, are the dominant organisms in a healthy vaginal microbiome. They produce lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide, which lower vaginal pH and create an environment that is inhospitable to the polymicrobial organisms responsible for BV. Supplementing with clinically validated strains after antibiotic treatment helps re-establish this protective barrier and significantly reduces the likelihood of recurrence.

Products such as Metagenics UltraFlora Women's are formulated with clinically studied Lactobacillus strains specifically selected to support vaginal and urogenital health. When used as part of a structured add-back protocol following treatment, they help sustain the microbiome balance that prevents biofilm reformation and recurrent infection over the long term.

Apply a compounded topical prescription directly to the vaginal area as directed by your provider as part of the Vaginalrestore Program to:

  • Target the specific polymicrobial organisms identified in the underlying vaginal infection.
  • Disrupt and remove the biofilm protecting harmful bacteria from standard treatments.
  • Prevent biofilm reformation with a compounded anti-biofilm base.
  • Support restoration of a healthy vaginal microbiome alongside probiotic add-back therapy.

Follow the STATs

Up to88%

In a controlled study, intravaginal metronidazole combined with a biofilm-disrupting agent achieved clinical cure rates up to 88% in women with recurrent BV — significantly higher than antibiotic therapy alone. Directly targeting the biofilm matrix was identified as the key factor driving improved outcomes.

Nearly3X

Women who received probiotic Lactobacillus add-back therapy following antibiotic treatment were nearly three times more likely to maintain a healthy vaginal microbiome at six months compared to those who received antibiotics alone — demonstrating that restoring flora after biofilm disruption is essential to preventing recurrence.

Up to65%

Topical boric acid combined with anti-biofilm agents has demonstrated cure rates up to 65% in women with recurrent BV who failed prior antibiotic therapy. Disrupting the biofilm matrix before or alongside antimicrobial treatment significantly improves clinical outcomes compared to antibiotics alone.
