Natural Methods To Treat Bacterial Vaginosis

Natural methods to treat bacterial vaginosis can be used very effectively to give both symptomatic relief and provide a complete cure

. Very often, women who take antibiotics for this condition end up with repeated outbreaks within a few weeks and many have side effects caused by taking the antibiotics which are sometimes more troublesome than BV itself!

Bacterial vaginosis is not really an "infection" although it is often referred to as such. It is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacteria within the vagina and happens when the harmful bacteria (Gardnerella) grows out of control and causes the unpleasant symptoms including the foul, fishy smelling discharge and the irritation and burning around the vagina which some women suffer from.

Normally, the beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus) exert a protective influence within the vaginal environment, maintaining a healthy, mildly acidic pH level. When a shift in the levels happens, problems will occur.

Cutting through every piece of information you might have read before about what can cure BV, the truth is that by rebalancing the pH levels in the vagina and, more importantly, maintaining this balance is the real key to ending the symptoms. To get these levels back to normal, natural methods to treat bacterial vaginosis can be far more effective than any over the counter meds or antibiotics.

To increase the levels of good healthy bacteria, we can start by replenishing what is there already. One way to do this is by soaking a tampon in live probiotic yogurt (this contains the Lactobacillus bacteria needed) and leave this in the vagina for a couple of hours. This simple measure can be enough to kick-start the body into producing more, as the bacteria naturally reproduces in the warmth of the vagina. Other natural methods to treat bacterial vaginosis are by taking probiotic capsules and simply by eating a healthy diet.

Eliminating harmful bacteria from the vagina will also help. You can try using the natural antibacterial oil, Tea Tree Oil, which can be very effective. Add 12 drops to a shallow bath or alternatively, this can be bought in pessary form. You can also encourage a healthy vaginal environment by not overwashing or using perfumed products, as both of these can disrupt the bacterial balance.

Other natural methods to treat bacterial vaginosis include wearing cotton panties, avoiding tight trousers and pantyhose and avoiding intercourse without a condom whilst the problem persists.

Although not harmful in the early stages, untreated vaginosis can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility. If you are prone to this condition and would like to try other natural treatments, there are a couple of fast acting solutions which I recommend which will help you be rid of BV within hours.

These are completely guaranteed to work and have already provided a permanent cure to thousands of women worldwide.
