-- Acidophilius is a natural, harmless bacteria that replaces your natural flora and fauna that is normally depleted during antibiotic use, which can cause an onset of yeast infection. Whoever told you to use the acidophilius in the vagina is smart and knows what they are talking about. It will help restore the natural levels within your vagina hence decreasing the yeast infection. Good luck
