subject: BV Treatment - Bacterial Vaginosis Home Treatments [print this page] Going for an over-the-counter bacterial vaginosis or BV treatment may sound a logical option, but you should not take this as a one-size-fits-all solution. Why? Because not everyone can tolerate antibiotics! Some people can't tolerate their side effects while some can't simply tolerate their cost. Anyway, if you are one of either, you surely have no better choice but to give home treatments a try.
Trying home treatments for BV can prove to be rewarding because they are not only a lot more affordable, they are safer and easy too. If you are interested in them, here's a list of what you can use and do:
Cold Compress-- Itching and swelling down there can absolutely be very frustrating. To alleviate your misery, use cold compress. You can simply pat a cold washcloth over the affected area. The coldness will cause the blood vessels to constrict so the swelling and redness would subside.
Douching Using a boric acid douche can greatly help you restore your vaginal pH. It helps in preventing unnecessary or unwanted bacteria from growing so fast and destroying the ones needed. If you don't have some boric acid, you may also use a vinegar douche. Mix a tablespoon of vinegar to a quarter of warm water.
Nutritional Supplements Vitamins A to E as well as Vitamin B complex could aid in treating BV. Vitamin E, may it be in cream form or powder (from the capsule) could also be used as a topical BV treatment.
