Treating Bacterial Vaginosis
Treating bacterial vaginosis (BV) can be very frustrating.
Especially if you decide to go to the doctor's office.
A doctor will prescribe antibiotics for your BV, to stop or kill the growth of bacteria.
Did you know that the chance of you having a recurring infection of BV is around 65%.
I'll go over this in greater detail in a minute.
Before you get upset, there is hope for the less fortunate people with BV out there.
There is another option for treating bacterial vaginosis.
In a nut shell, its a combination of natural remedies and natural medications.
This is a much better treatment because the chances of a recurrence of BV are slim to none.
Some people have even called these natural methods cures because the success rate and chance of recurrence are so small.
Also, its cheap and very easy to perform in the comfort of your own home.
But before I discuss why natural is better than antibiotics, a little lesson in vaginal health 101.
Your vagina has good and bad bacteria living inside of it.
The "peacefully" coexist, you might say, with the levels of good keeping the bad in check.
The good bacteria, Lactobacilli, produces hydrogen peroxide naturally and cleanses your vagina.
This also fights off infections.
When your good levels are overtaken by the bad, Gardnerella, the bad bacteria produces the nasty, uncomfortable symptoms of BV.
So, in theory, if you increase your Lactobacilli levels, your body should be treating bacterial vaginosis on its own right? Technically, yes.
But there are also other techniques that helps soothe the process while you wait for your body to cure itself.
By itself, lactobacilli will fight off the infection, but it needs all the help it can get, NATURALLY.
Now back to antibiotics.
To put it simply, their main function is to kill bacteria.
That's it.
They don't single out the bad and leave the good untouched.
This is horrible for the future, but in a sense, it does cure your BV for the time being.
Without the badly need lactobacilli, your body is defenseless, and this is why a recurrence rate is so high.
Also, the creams can produce a yeast infection as a side effect.
So what have we learned here? Natural is better.
Always.
