subject: Natural Recurrent Bacterial Vaginosis Treatment-simple Bv Cures [print this page] Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacteria within the vagina. The pH level of a healthy vagina is mildly acidic, at between 3.8-4.5. If this level moves up the scale and an alkaline environment prevails, harmful bacteria will flourish and the unpleasant symptoms of bacterial vaginosis will be present.
Unless you actually do something to address the possible causes of this imbalance, it is likely that you will suffer from repeated outbreaks of BV. Antibiotics do little to tackle the problem and most women find that natural recurrent bacterial vaginosis treatment is the only way forward.
Antibiotics work by eliminating all bacteria, the problem being that they cannot distinguish between "beneficial" and "harmful" bacterium. This means that one you stop using antibiotic treatment, the body needs to rebuild its healthy levels of bacteria, and as the harmful bacteria is likely to grow faster, the symptoms often begin again. Indeed, something approaching three quarters of women who take antibiotics for BV will have a repeat attack within a few weeks.
Natural recurrent bacterial vaginosis treatment can be used to strengthen the immune system, making the body stronger and better able to produce the beneficial bacteria to help fight the infection. In addition, anyone wanting to ensure that they completely eradicate BV for good will need to take a look at the common causes and ensure that they are eliminated. Bacterial vaginosis can only thrive then there is an imbalance and certain conditions are present in the body. Ensuring that your body is balanced and that you are avoiding all the possible triggers of BV means that it cannot thrive.
To begin to get your body in balance, try using the following natural recurrent bacterial vaginosis treatment strategies:-
* If you think your immune system could be lowered, take a good all-round supplement
* Try taking probiotics to generally increase the levels of good bacteria in the body. Also, introducing beneficial bacteria directly into the vagina can be an enormous help-soak a tampon in probiotic natural yogurt and leave in place for an hour or two
* To quickly eliminate some of the harmful bacteria, consider using tea tree oil pessaries
* Avoid intercourse without a condom, as sperm is naturally alkaline and this can sway the balance if your pH level is borderline
* The body can be very good at healing itself. Give it chance to build up levels of good bacteria by not washing the vagina too much. Twice a day is adequate and avoid perfumed soaps and douching
These simple strategies can be very helpful and sometimes, making these subtle changes can be enough to prevent further outbreaks.
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.
