According to the Oxford dictionary, dysbiosis is “an imbalance between types of organisms present in a person’s natural microflora, especially that of the gut, thought to contribute to a range of conditions of ill health.” So, why am I writing specifically about women? Dysbiosis in women often results in very specific negative effects on a woman’s urogenital health. Women are more prone to UTIs (urinary tract infections) from birth to old age and experience changes in vaginal health as hormones fluctuate throughout their lifetime. Other contributing factors to dysbiosis are diet, body wash use, sex, swimming (chlorine), medications (antibiotics, birth control), stress and yoga pants (sweat).
