subject: Bacterial Vaginosis Home Treatments - Eliminate BV Naturally [print this page] Bacterial vaginosis is a very common condition caused by an overgrowth of bacteria which lives naturally within the vagina. It is one of the most likely causes of fishy smelling discharge in women of childbearing age.
Conventional medication often fails to provide a permanent solution and more and more women are using bacterial vaginosis home treatments as an alternative and many discover that this economical and natural way forward is more effective.
BV is not caused by poor hygiene. Indeed, one of the common causes is overwashing as this can alter the natural balance of bacteria within the vagina, triggering the growth of harmful bacteria. Other common causes include douching, using perfumed products, smoking, eating a poor diet and having intercourse with a new partner without a condom.
Although not harmful in its early stages, untreated bacterial vaginosis can make a woman more prone to pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility. In addition, during pregnancy, untreated BV can lo complications such as early labor, miscarriage and it can increase the chances of having a baby with low birth weight.
The main aim of bacterial vaginosis home treatments is to rebalance the bacterial levels within the vagina, causing as little disruption as possible. Sometimes, the simplest treatments are the best and you can try the following:-
* Avoid douching
* Do not add perfumed products to your bath or shower
* Use simple detergents for your underwear, such as those suitable for sensitive/baby skin
* Wash your vaginal area no more than twice a day-and only with unperfumed soaps
