subject: Quick Way To Cure Bacterial Vaginosis [print this page] If you are a regular sufferer, you may be wondering if there is a quick way to cure bacterial vaginosis. Although there certainly are ways to eliminate the symptoms fast, there is no medication which can completely eliminate it and you will need to play a part in your own treatment.
Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacteria which lives naturally in the vagina. The strains of bacteria are normally dominated by what is known as Lactobacillus, or "healthy" bacteria. This strain exerts overall control on the vaginal conditions and prevents the growth of too much harmful bacteria by maintaining a mildly acidic environment.
When something disturbs this balance and harmful bacteria is allowed to grow out of control, this then causes the unpleasant symptoms of BV which include a foul fishy smelling discharge and some irritation and burning of the vaginal area. The only true quick way to cure bacterial vaginosis is to get to the root cause of the imbalance and restore the PH level of the vagina.
Although some see antibiotics as a quick way to cure bacterial vaginosis, all this does is treat the symptoms and not the root cause so although some women find that they do get fast relief, this is often short-lived, which is why a large proportion are prone to repeated outbreaks within a few weeks of finishing the course.
Much of what you can do is fairly simple. First of all, boosting the immune system can help. Try taking a nutritional supplement and upping your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. Next, take a look at your personal hygiene. Contrary to popular belief, BV is not caused by poor hygiene but can actually be caused by overwashing. You should therefore wash no more than twice a day, using unperfumed soap and avoid douching at all costs!
In addition, you can also try using probiotic yogurt and tea tree oil as a quick way to cure bacterial vaginosis, although you should still comply with the advice above.
* Soak a tampon in probiotic yogurt and leave in the vagina for a couple of hours. The live bacteria can supplement the healthy bacteria in the vagina
* Tea tree oil can kill harmful bacteria. Add a few drops to a shallow bath or a Sitz bath, and remain in it for about 20 minutes
Although not harmful in the early stages, untreated BV can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility. If you are prone to this condition and would like to try other natural treatments, there are a couple of fast acting solutions which I recommend which will help you be rid of BV within hours.
