Curing Recurrent Bacterial Vaginosis Naturally-my Technique

Curing Recurrent Bacterial Vaginosis Naturally-my Technique

By:


When I got up this morning, my fears were confirmed. I had another outbreak of bacterial vaginosis. I could have kicked myself really as I knew it was self-inflicted. I had already worked out just what was causing my outbreaks but I still had it! I knew enough about curing recurrent bacterial vaginosis not to put myself through this again, but yet still did!

You see, what had happened was that I was bought a beautiful expensive hat box gift at Christmas which was filled with gorgeous toiletries of a brand which I absolutely loved. It had opulent face creams, expensive scrubs, an oil body spray, a hand butter and a wonderfully rich-smelling shower gel.

Over the holidays, I had loved using these products and two days ago, put the shower gel in my shower. Now a bit of background here....For a couple of years, on and off, I had suffered from the indignity of bacterial vaginosis. I had tried all sorts of creams and gels and even three courses of antibiotics, all to no avail. I just couldn't understand it, I kept myself clean, ate the right sorts of foods and didn't smoke.

Eventually, after much research, it turned out that my BV was actually caused by a combination of overwashing and, if I so much as used anything other than an unperfumed soap around my vagina. I eventually discovered just what was needed for curing recurrent bacterial vaginosis in my case and have stuck to it since. Well, almost since....Back to the shower gel.....Well, it was just too nice not to use it and I couldn't resist. I figured that something so expensive must have been thoroughly tested and could not harm me.

Just yesterday I used it in the shower, I put a big dollop on the sponge and washed myself all over, except "down below". Being mindful of my sensitivity, I rinsed off most of the remainder and gently washed my vagina and felt a burning, tingling sensation immediately. As quickly as I could, I rinsed the area with water and the burning quickly subsided. I spent the rest of the day chastising myself for being so stupid, but hoping that I hadn't caused an outbreak of BV.

This morning when I got up, I could smell that horrible, familiar fishy odor and I knew I only had myself to blame!

At least I now know what I didn't before, that curing recurrent bacterial vaginosis naturally is not that difficult, once you know the steps that work for you.

One of the problems with BV is that the causes can vary from woman to woman. Very often, a woman might not even discover her specific trigger point (I was lucky, I did!) but although useful, it is not essential to do so. Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacterial in the vagina, and there is always something which causes it to happen. Common "triggers" include smoking, eating a poor diet, intercourse with a new partner, overwashing, douching and using perfumed products. Some women are also more prone around the time of the menopause.

For me, I know just what will work for treating my recurrent bacterial vaginosis. I shall avoid the temptation to wash several times a day (just to get rid of the smell!) and when I do wash, I won't sit in a bath, but will have a quick shower and only use plain soap. Probiotic yogurt works for me too-I will soak a tampon in it and leave it in my vagina for a couple of hours later today. I will also get out the probiotic capsules which are in my medicine cupboard and start taking those for a week. The last things I will do are to wear my old trusty cotton panties and use a thin panty pad to help soak up some of the discharge as I can change this at work a couple of times if the smell is becoming noticeable.

I am very careful about curing recurrent bacterial vaginosis promptly as repeated outbreaks can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility.

The strategies that work for me may well be useful for you if you also have a problem with BV. However, every woman is different and there are a full range of treatments you can adopt to ensure that you completely eradicate this condition.

And why am I writing about it today? Simply because I am cross with myself, and as someone who regularly writes articles about BV, I should know better!
