In this brief presentation, Dr. Doni Wilson emphasizes that the vaginal microbiome is a crucial defense against high‑risk HPV, yet most women are unaware of its importance. She outlines several common disruptors of the microbiome—poor diet, chronic stress, hormonal fluctuations, gut‑health issues, antibiotic use, and especially perimenopausal estrogen decline, which reduces protective Lactobacillus populations and heightens susceptibility to HPV and urinary infections. Dr. Wilson cites research showing that the probiotic strains Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus rhamnosus can restore a healthy microbiome and prevent infections. To make these strains accessible, she has formulated a product called Women’s Probiotic Support, inviting viewers to comment for a purchase link.

The one thing I wish every woman who tested positive for high-risk HPV virus knew about her vaginal health is that your vaginal microbiome is one of your most powerful defenses against HPV, and yet most women have never heard this. And there's many factors that can disrupt the vaginal microbiome, including diet, stress, hormone changes, gut health issues, use of antibiotics, and one that nobody's talking about, which is perimenopause. You see, when la— when vaginal estrogen levels decrease decrease, so do the levels of the protective bacteria, and that leaves women more susceptible to vaginal infections, including HPV, and bladder infections. But there's so much we can do about this, including helping women to get access to vaginal estrogen during menopause and the oral probiotics that can help restore the vaginal microbiome. Research shows that Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus rhamnosus have been shown to restore the microbiome and prevent infections. But I know it's hard to find a trusted product. So I formulated Women's Probiotic Support that contains these two strains of bacteria so you can get help to restore a vaginal microbiome.
