Interested in a natural Bacterial Vaginosis cure? BV can be troubling when it comes back again and again. However there are home remedies that can help. This article explains what BV is exactly, why it happens and how to find a permanent cure. Finding A Natural Bacterial Vaginosis Cure If you suffer from BV and have been diagnosed by a doctor, you were probably given antibiotics to relieve the problem. While taking antibiotics does work, many women find that their Bacterial Vaginosis returns again. Sometimes, even stronger than before. Here's why. What is Bacterial Vaginosis? Is It The Same As A Yeast Infection? BV is one of four common types of Vaginitis. These include:
- Bacterial Vaginosis
- Yeast Infections
- Trichomoniasis
- Atrophic Vaginitis
BV and yeast infections are different because yeast infections are caused by a fungus called Candida Albicans, while BV is caused by unusually rapid growth of bacteria in the vagina. There is a correct balance of good and bad bacteria in a healthy vagina, and Bacterial Vaginosis occurs when there is an unusually large amount of bad bacteria, causing an imbalance. It's important to be tested by your doctor to be sure of which type of infection you really have. "The doctor gave me antibiotics for my BV, but it came back again!" Unfortunately nobody knows exactly what causes the unusual growth of bacteria known as BV. Doctors routinely prescribe Metronidazole or Clindamycin antibiotics that can be taken orally, or in a gel form that is applied to the vagina. Because these antibiotics kill both good and bad types of bacteria, they can lower your defenses against the Bacterial Vaginosis returning. Do Home Remedies For BV Really Work? After being diagnosed with BV and having it return again, many women turn to natural remedies for relief and prevention. This is a safe and effective method of treatment if you know what you are doing. There is a lot of talk on the internet forums about things like garlic cloves and yogurt, but be wary of believing everything people post in the forums! The best thing you can do to be sure of a safe and effective natural home treatment is to use a legitimate source of information.
