If you happen to suffer from bacterial vaginosis then Im sure you will be trying to find a fast natural remedy. Some women are finding their own natural home remedies for bacterial vaginosis in favour of visiting their doctor. The doctor will always have a job to do and it never does any harm to get checked over but the doctor will prescribe antibiotics for bacterial vaginosis and the problem with antibiotics is they they only treat the symptoms of Bv and no the cause. leading to a higher chance of recurrent bacterial vaginosis. It is really common for women taking antibiotics for treatment of bacterial vaginosis to have the symptoms come back in a few days.
Many people think bacterial vaginitis is an infection when it is infact an inflammation of the vainga which is caused by an overgrowth of gardnerella bad bacteria. Now this bacteria is naturally occurring within the vagina but is normally balanced out with good bacteria. If there is an inbalance with the bacteria this is when bacterial vaginosis takes hold.
Bacterial vaginitis can be identified by a watery discharge that is a grayish white color and will also have a fishy / musty type odor that is pretty unpleaseant. There can also be itching and sometimes a swelling of the vagina. Bacterial vaginosis can cause a general feeling of unwell as well as nasty stomach cramps.
So if antibiotics only treat the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis and repeat cases of BV are likely what can be done to treat the root cause and be completely free of bacterial vaginosis. Not everybody will react in the same way to treatments. As I said before I would always recommend a trip to the doctor and antibiotics will clear the bacterial vaginosis initially but you need to find a fast natural remedy to compliment the antibiotics.
What you put in to your body has a dramatic effect of health, so try to eat a healthy diet. So try to eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, organic are best but not always available and sometimes to expensive. Drinking plenty of fresh water will help keep the body healthy and maintain a good pH level. Avoid processed or refined foods.
You will find natural yogurt a good treatment for bacterial vaginitis. balnce active is a good yogurt with live cultures to try. It can be used in 2 ways. You can eat it as you would expect. but you can also soak a tampon in it and apply directly into the vagina. Rebalnce of the vaginas natural flora will occur due to the lactobacillus acidophilus probiotics within the yogurt.
