Femdophilus is a oral brand of probiotics taken orally that from over 10 years of clinical trial has been created to contain the strains of Lactobacillus, Lactobacilli: GR-1® and RC-14, found in the vagina by Dr. Gregory Reid. http://www.jarrow.com/product/391/Fem_Dophilus
I believe a few other companies make probiotics with these strains for the same purpose.
The way oral probiotics make their way to the vagina is by the fact that the vaginal opening is close to the anus. The good bacteria make their way over due to the close contact and underwear contact.
Studies do show putting lactobacillus vaginally is supposed to help with BV however not all strains of lactobacillus produce hydrogen peroxide which is how lactobacillus keeps the balance of the good and bad organisms in the vagina in check. Regular yogurt does have lactobacillus but they may not be the proper strains so though many women try yogurt vaginally, it may not be the best idea.
