Why Healthy Vaginal Microbiome Matters and How to Keep Vaginal Infections Away: Dr. Virgínia Franco, Yoni Solutions

Alex Jani: interviewing visionaries of healthcare innovation

How many species inhabit a woman's vagina? If you're a woman, what kind of species are characteristic of your vagina?

Now, you may learn that.

And act on what you have learned to prevent recurring vaginal infections. How cool is that?

You'll hear about:

  • recurring vaginal infections, yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and STDs
  • symptoms of vaginal infections
  • different kinds of Lactobacillus bacteria and which are the ones that benefit a woman the most
  • imbalanced vaginal microbiome and its link to infertility
  • and probiotics that restore the balance

Dr. Virgínia Franco is a gynaecologist and an obstetrician and also the CEO of Yoni Solutions. She researched recurring vaginal infections at the University of São Paulo when she discovered there’s an answer in Switzerland.

Yoni Solutions is a Swiss startup that performs vaginal microbiome analysis that allows to identify the healthy bacteria and pathogens inhabiting a woman’s vagina. To support the healthy environment they offer personalised food supplements.
