The vaginal microbiome is the population of microorganisms that live in the vagina, including bacteria, fungi and viruses, and these microorganisms have a complex network of interactions with each other and with their human host.

In today’s episode, I’ll share the main reasons why your vaginal microbiome might become imbalanced, different signs and symptoms of vaginal infections along with risk factors for fertility and pregnancy.
