Не всегда очевидно, что является первичной причиной нарушенной экосистемы влагалища – изменения эпителия или патогенные микроорганизмы. Эстриол играет ключевую роль в развитии и поддержании здорового эпителия влагалища, стимулируя рост и дифференцировку клеток, увеличивает толщину эпителия, а также способствует выработке гликогена, необходимого для поддержания кислой среды. Дефицит эстриола приводит к вульвовагинальной атрофии и развитию атрофического вагинита. В свою очередь, Lactobacillus acidophilus поддерживают здоровый микробиом, защищая от инфекций и создавая кислую среду, неблагоприятную для патогенов. В последние годы возрос интерес к применению пробиотиков для восстановления здоровья микробиоты влагалища. Был проведен обзор научных публикаций об использовании ультранизкой дозы эстриола 0,03 мг и Lactobacillus acidophilus для нормализации микробиоты влагалища и терапии вагинальных инфекций. Анализ опубликованных клинических исследований и метаанализов по применению пробиотиков при вагинальных инфекциях позволил показать механизмы действия пробиотиков, их биологическую роль и клинические эффекты. Интеграция пробиотиков в систему лечения и профилактики бактериального вагиноза становится все более актуальной. Их высокая эффективность и безопасность подтверждены многочисленными исследованиями и метаанализами. Добавление пробиотиков к стандартной антимикробной терапии улучшает показатели излечения, восстанавливает нормальную микрофлору влагалища и снижает риск рецидивов. Таким образом, необходимы дальнейшие исследования по применению пробиотиков, которые будут способствовать созданию более эффективных и персонифицированных стратегий лечения, обеспечивающих долговременные результаты. Публикации новых данных сделают возможным внедрение передового опыта в клиническую практику, обеспечивая более здоровое будущее для пациенток во всем мире.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>A disturbed vaginal ecosystem is characterized by reduced or non-existing lactobacillary flora and damaged vaginal epithelium. It may not always be apparent whether alterations of the vaginal epithelium or pathogenic microorganisms are the primary cause of a disturbed vaginal ecosystem. Estriol plays a key role in developing and maintaining a healthy vaginal epithelium, stimulating cell growth and differentiation, increases epithelial thickness, and also promotes glycogen synthesis, which is required to maintain an acidic environment. Estriol deficiency results in the vulvovaginal atrophy and the development of atrophic vaginitis. In turn, Lactobacillus acidophilus maintains a healthy microbiome, protecting against infections and creating an acidic environment unfavourable for the growth of pathogens. In recent years, an increasing interest has been developed in probiotics with the belief that probiotics could be able to restore the vaginal microbiota health. A review of scientific articles on the use of an ultra-low-dose vaginal estriol 0.03 mg in combination with Lactobacillus acidophilus to normalize the vaginal microbiota and treat vaginal infections has been conducted. An analysis of published clinical studies and meta-analyses on the use of probiotics in vaginal infections showed the mechanisms of action of probiotics, their biological role and clinical effects. The integration of probiotics into the treatment and prevention of bacterial vaginosis is growing more urgent. The results of numerous studies and meta-analyses confirmed their high efficacy and safety. The supplementation of standard antibiotic therapy with probiotics improves cure rates, restores normal vaginal microflora and reduces the risk of relapse. Therefore, further studies on the use of probiotics to develop more effective and personalized treatment strategies providing long-term results are needed. The publication of new evidence will make it possible to introduce best practices into clinical practice and ensure a healthier future for patients worldwide.</p><p> </p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>пробиотики</kwd><kwd>вагинальные инфекции</kwd><kwd>бактериальный вагиноз</kwd><kwd>эстриол</kwd><kwd>Lactobacillus acidophilus</kwd><kwd>Гинофлор® Э</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>probiotics</kwd><kwd>vaginal infections</kwd><kwd>bacterial vaginosis</kwd><kwd>estriol</kwd><kwd>Lactobacillus acidophilus</kwd><kwd>Gynoflor® E</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Hill C, Guarner F, Reid G, Gibson GR, Merenstein DJ, Pot B et al.
