Abstract

The article is dedicated to the issues relating to the maintenance of normal vaginal biocenosis in terms of prevention of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the genital tract. It is emphasized that the normal vaginal microflora (lactoflora) provides resistance to genital tract colonization - a set of mechanisms that prevent the population of vaginal pathogens or excessive proliferation of opportunistic bacteria, including in the form of biofilms. The possibilities for correction of vaginal microbiocenosis using a preparation containing ascorbic acid are discussed.
