Methods. 50 patients were examined after vaginal delivery who had physiological course of the puerperal period. Daily, for the first six days after delivery, microbiological investigation of vaginal discharge and quantitative determination of lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, corynebacteria, Gram -positive and Gram - negative bacteria was carried out. Microbiological analysis was performed in 16 women who were given bifidumbacterin and lactobacterin per os 10 doses two times a day before meal from the first puerperal day.

Results. Restoration of normal vaginal microflora (lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, corynebacteria, a.o. in a quantity of 10⁶ CFU/ml and more) occurred on the 5^th-6^th day. When bifidumbacterin was administered the beginning of vaginal normocenosis was noted on the 4^th day. In women, taking lactobacterin, vaginal microbiocenosis began to recover from the third day.

Conclusion. The use of eubiotics favoured earlier restoration of vaginal microbiocenosis in the puerperal period.
