Easy Natural Bacterial Vaginitis Treatment

Easy Natural Bacterial Vaginitis Treatment

By:


Bacterial vaginitis will affect most of us at some time during our adult lives. Very often, conventional medication, such as antibiotics, can prove to be a big disappointment with most of us who take them finding out that we have repeat attacks within a few short weeks.

Indeed, many will suffer on and off for a number of years and it is only when they try natural bacterial vaginitis treatment that they find freedom from this unpleasant condition.

To get you started, there are a few simple strategies which will get you on the road to recovery.

For symptomatic relief of the foul vaginal odor which is a "trademark" sign of BV, try to avoid overwashing. Although it is tempting to wash repeatedly throughout the day, you should avoid this at all costs as you will be depleting the vagina's natural protective lubricants which help to maintain health. Also, avoid using perfumed products. Your strategy should be to wash twice daily, using an unperfumed soap. In the meantime, try wearing thin panty pads and changing them regularly over the course of the day as these will absorb some of the odor and discharge. If your discharge is particularly bad, you could very gently wipe the external discharge away using an unperfumed baby wipe, but be careful not to rub too much!

Also, avoid wearing synthetic panties as these can create the perfect conditions for bacterial vaginitis of heat and moisture. Stick to cotton and save the others for occasional wear. In the same vein, avoid tight trousers and pantyhose.

To get relief from the itching and burning, cooling down the vaginal area is a must. Try wrapping an ice pack in a damp flannel or alternatively, place a damp flannel in the freezer for a while. Either of these placed on the vagina will help to soothe the area, stopping the itching.

Other natural bacterial vaginitis treatment strategies include using natural ingredients which can be found around the home.

* Live, probiotic yogurt can help to replenish depleted supplies in the vagina. Try eating a small pot a day or alternatively, soak a tampon in the yogurt and insert it for a couple of hours.

* Tea tree oil is also an effective treatment. Its natural antibacterial proprties can help to kill off harmful bacteria. It can be used in pessary form (available from health food stores) or add 10-12 drops to a bath.

* Cider vinegar also proves helpful for some women. Add a couple of cups to your bath and this can help to rebalance the pH levels in the vagina.

Prompt action is always a good idea if you have BV as although not dangerous in the early stages, if left untreated bacterial vaginosis can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility.
