Findings

When women with recurrent yeast infections took probiotics plus lactoferrin alongside standard antifungal treatment, they had significantly fewer infections come back: only 29% had recurrences after 6 months, compared to 100% in the placebo group. They also reported less itching and discharge at the 3 and 6-month marks.
