Bacterial Vaginosis is a common condition. A lot of women in the childbearing age suffer from it at least once in their life. Some women don't even realize that they have Vaginosis or have no idea of treating it. A common sign for BV is a grey or white vaginal discharge and a fishy smell, especially after intercourse. Although a major cause of this disease is an imbalance in your good and bad bacteria, it is not considered as a sexually transmitted disease, nor is it contagious. There are several highly effective natural remedies for BV which can be found in your local drugstore, supermarket or health care center.
Find below some of the most common home remedies for Bacterial Vaginosis:
1) Yogurt
One Vaginosis remedy topping everyone's list is well, plain yogurt. It's safe, and doesn't contain any harmful chemicals which could irritate the vagina. It contains lots of bacteria, but all good bacteria nonetheless. Yogurt contain Lactobacillus which helps to rebalance the Ph level of your vagina.
2) Soak It up
Try putting a few drops of bath oils that have known antifungal and antibacterial properties in the tub, and just soak and relax for a little while. Most of these oils are natural, and have no adverse effects to the body, and can be very relaxing at the same time.
3) Stay Clean And Fresh
To avoid getting Vaginosis, caution should be taken in a holistic approach. One should practice good feminine hygiene, and avoid regular douching. Most of the time regular douching upsets the Ph balance of the vagina, causing more irritation to occur.
4) Practice Safe Intercourse
It also does not hurt limiting the number of sexual partners. Intercourse is a way to transmit different germs and diseases, so it's always important to wear protection.
5) Steer Clear From Antibiotics.
I tis correct that antibiotics kill bacteria. However, antibiotics are not able to distinguish between good and bad bacteria. It will kill all the bacteria in your vagina. The good and the bad. So this does not help at all. Most women who have tried antibiotics have felt unsatisfied and have opted to try more natural methods.
At the end of the day, problems like this can be very embarrassing for women, especially those who are sexually active. Caution, caution, and more caution should be taken. The best Vaginosis remedy would be proper care and love for oneself. If all of us would practice proper feminine hygiene and protected intercourse, diseases like BV would be almost non existent.
