How To Get Fast Relief From Bacterial Vaginosis
The constant irritation, burning and itching caused by BV can be too much to bear
and that's without taking into account the embarrassing, foul fishy odor. If you would like to know how to get fast relief from bacterial vaginosis, there are a few things you can do right now to help.
BV is caused by an imbalance of the natural bacteria which lives inside the vagina. When the levels of protective, Lactobacillus bacteria decline, this allows for the growth of harmful anerobic bacteria which causes the symptoms. Key to treating BV fast is to rebalance the bacterial levels and also get some symptomatic relief.
Rebalancing the bacterial levels can take a day or two and is rarely "instant" however, you can get relief from the symptoms immediately and below are a few of steps to try right now:-
* Place an ice pack, wrapped in a damp towel, on the sore vaginal area. This will give immediate relief and soothing
* Take a not-too warm shallow bath and add a couple of cups of cider vinegar. The PH level is similar to that of a healthy vagina and will help to soothe. You can also soak a few cotton wool pads in diluted cider vinegar and gently bathe the inflamed vaginal tissues
* Switch to wearing cotton panties as these allow air to circulate around the vaginal area. Synthetic fabrics can make matters worse
* Soak a tampon in probiotic yogurt and place inside the vagina for a few hours. It is a little messy but can give very fast relief from bacterial vaginosis
These steps can help in the short term but for a permanent cure, it is essential to use a multifaceted approach which can eliminate all the common causes and boost the immune system.
Although not harmful in its early stages, if bacterial vaginosis is left untreated it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and can even render some women infertile. Therefore, it is always a good idea to treat the condition promptly. You are particularly at risk if you get repeated attacks.
