Bacterial Vaginosis Natural Cures - Simple Remedies For Vaginal Fish Odor

By:


If you are suffering from this very unpleasant condition, you will not need me to tell you that not only is it uncomfortable and irritating, but it can be downright embarrassing, with one of the most common symptoms is a foul vaginal fish odor.

Fortunately there are a number of bacterial vaginosis natural cures which can work very effectively-indeed much more effectively than antibiotics and over the counter meds, neither of which are not permanent solutions.

Under normal circumstances, different types of bacteria naturally inhabit the vagina. The beneficial bacteria, lactobacillus, make up the bulk of the bacteria and these are responsible for maintaining the correct pH levels within the vagina which protects from infection. If these levels are reduced, pH levels rise and harmful bacteria begins to grow. This causes the typical symptoms which as well as the fishy odor, include itching, burning and irritation of the vaginal area and a gray or white watery discharge.

Over half of all women will at some time in their lives suffer from bacterial vaginosis. Very often there is no obvious cause. However, some common factors often include

* The use of IUD's
* Overwashing and douching
* Using perfumed products on or around the delicate tissues of the vagina
* Having unprotected intercourse

Other causes can include having a new sexual partner, the menopause, or being generally under the weather.

Bacterial vaginosis natural cures commonly include using tea tree oil, natural yogurt and cider vinegar.

Tea tree oil can be used in pessary form or as an oil. The natural antibacterial properties of this often-called "wonder oil" can help to rebalance the pH levels in the vagina. The pessaries are available from health food stores and if you are using the oil, add 10-12 drops to a warm bath.

Cider vinegar can also be added to a bath. For a shallow to medium depth bath, you will need 2-3 cup fulls. This can help because when you have bacterial vaginosis, the pH levels become too alkaline and the acidic nature of the vinegar can help to restore the correct levels.

To use natural yogurt, you will need to ensure that you have the probiotic variety as this contains beneficial bacteria. A small pot can either be eaten daily or you can soak a tampon in the yogurt and insert it into the vagina for a couple of hours.

Although not dangerous, bacterial vaginosis is very unpleasant and if left untreated for a lengthy period can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility. Prompt treatment is therefore always advisable.
