Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

When is comes to picking a bacterial vaginosis remedy on must first know what BV is. Vaginosis is quite often mistaken as an infection when it is in fact an inflammation caused by an imbalance of harmful bacteria in a woman’s vagina. You will have most likely already gone to your doctor, if not please book a visit to confirm what you have. Your doctor will prescribe antibiotics; I am not a huge proponent of choosing this bath, read further for some ideas on how to naturally cure your BV.

One option is to eat an abundance of yogurt, around 5 cups a day. This is a good option as yogurt contains active bacteria cultures that are healthy for your body. Another way yogurt is used is bay placing some on your finger or a tampon and inserting it into the vagina.

Apple cider vinegar is also used as a home remedy. You can relax a little, you don’t drink it. Take a small bottle of apple cider vinegar and pour it into a bath, there are usually directions on the bottle so read the bottle carefully. You would soak in the bath for about 20 minutes and you would continue this for about a week.

These are just two options when it comes to choosing a natural bacterial vaginosis remedy. As always consult your physician to ensure that you are not doing anything that could harm you. BV can be gotten rid of, and banished for good, proper eating and hygiene will go along way o helping this inflammation stay away.

Vaginosis Remedies - Why Natural Remedies are Better than Your Doctors Drugs

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

The signs and symptoms are there; your doctor has confirmed that you have BV, now what? There are two main methods that people use for bacterial vaginosis cures, you can get that expensive prescription for antibiotics filled or you can look at using less expensive yet far more effective natural remedies. Let me walk you through why the antibiotic route is not the best option.

Your vagina contains two types of bacteria, bad bacteria and the good bacteria that fight it, when you get BV you have a build up off the bad kind. Antibiotics are designed to kill bacteria, good right…wrong…it doesn’t discern the difference between good and bad bacteria, therefore it kills it all. On the surface you might think that this is ok, here is what happens. You have just killed of all the bacteria and they are both now growing back, the negative bacteria has a tendency to grow faster and will overtake the positive very quickly again. You have BV again, you go back to the doctor, they prescribe more antibiotics, you kill of both and…you get the idea.

Natural remedies for bacterial vaginosis focus on getting that balance of healthy and unhealthy bacteria back in balance utilizing the bodies’ natural ability to heal itself. These cures boost your immune system and provide you the way to cure and keep BV at bay for good, without killing of the positive bacteria your body needs. You will also notice that the natural remedies are far easier on your pocket book, both on the initial cost and the fact that you will not need to continue repurchasing antibiotics; you can get out of the cycle.

The two bacterial vaginosis cures are both effective, they will both provide immediate relief of the symptoms. Only one of the options will help you keep it away for good. You will not need to continue the purchase cycle of meds and save that money for more important things, like that romantic getaway for two.

Vaginosis Remedies - Commonly Used Remedies

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Bacterial vaginosis can be treated with antibiotics such as metronidazole and clindamycin. However, there is a high rate of recurrence. Moreover metronidazole is a suspected carcinogen. It is banned in EU for veterinary use as it is proved carcinogenic in animals.

BV is twice as common as thrush and it is estimated that 1 in 3 women will develop the condition at some point in their lives. In addition to the physical discomfort and symptoms, BV can also have a significant impact on a woman’s quality of life.

Currently, there are very few over the counter products that address bacterial vaginosis.

They work after different principles:
1. Eliminating the unwanted bacteria. Example Tea-tree oil products, FemiGel. Same principle as the antibiotics.
2. Adding buffer / acid to lower the pH. RepHresh is an example.
3. Adding lactic bacteria. Fem-dophilus (Jarrow Formulas) is a lactobacillus product which specifically claims to help maintain healthy vaginal flora.
4. Adding growth substrate for the beneficial lactic acid bacteria to grow and produce lactic acid directly into the vagina. The natural lactic acid bacteria multiply, bringing about a healthy environment.

LadyBalance is based on this principle. Most of the over-the-counter products are not documented by clinical trials. But as many women cannot eliminate bacterial vaginosis by prescription drugs, they select from the above mentioned products.
