Many people have heard of using natural yogurt for bacterial vaginosis, but does it work? How can such a simple product get rid of such an embarrassing condition?
BV is one of those conditions which are notoriously difficult to eliminate using conventional medication, and there are very good reasons why this is the case. Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance of the PH levels within the vagina. This leads to an overgrowth of harmful bacteria which is normally kept at low levels by the naturally protective Lactobacillus bacteria which normally thrives in the vagina.
Using natural yogurt for bacterial vaginosis can really help, but it needs to be the correct type. Live natural yogurt contains Lactobacillus bacteria, the same as that within a healthy vagina. Therefore, you can supplement the levels and kick-start the body's own production in two ways.
Firstly, eating a small pot of live yogurt each day can help build up and strengthen your body's general levels of healthy bacteria in the gut, making it easier to fight infection and conditions such as BV. However, eating the yogurt does not have a direct effect on the condition and can take some time to take effect.
There is a much better way of using live natural yogurt for bacterial vaginosis. By introducing it directly to the vagina, this by passes the digestive system and delivers the healthy bacteria to where it can have an immediate effect. Indeed, some women find that they feel some relief within a few minutes. Although messy, the best way to introduce it is via a tampon which has been pre-soaked.
Although not harmful in its early stages, if bacterial vaginosis is left untreated it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and can even render some women infertile. Therefore, it is always a good idea to treat the condition promptly. You are particularly at risk if you get repeated attacks.
