subject: BV Infection - Effective Home Cures for Bacterial Vaginosis [print this page] Bacterial vaginosis can affect any woman but her chances of getting the infection increase during her child-bearing years. This infection is caused by the overgrowth of multiple species of bacteria in the vagina. In the vagina, there is a natural pH or level of acidity that must be maintained. This is to protect the vagina and the entire reproductive system from harmful organisms that may cause health problems and the vaginal pH balance is disrupted when excess bacteria is present in the vagina.
The naturally occurring bacterial species in the vagina are the hydrogen peroxide-producing lactobacilli. When another type of bacteria, the anaerobic bacteria or bacteria that do not need oxygen to live, thrive in the vagina, bacterial vaginosis occurs. The symptoms of BV infection are fishy odour of the vagina, discharge that may be whitish or yellowish, or vaginal itch. The symptoms are similar to yeast infection and trichomoniasis so this infection is usually mistaken to be the aforementioned infections.
Some women who have mild cases of BV infection choose not to treat it but if the condition is really severe, then she should consider seeing her gynaecologist. The gynaecologist can prescribe treatments which are usually antibiotic.
These may come in pills or creams but if the patient prefers to cure bacterial vaginosis naturally, she should use natural products that have antibiotic properties. Some women use live yoghurt to treat bacterial vaginosis since this has live good bacteria that can combat the infection.
