Home Remedies For Bacterial Vaginosis - No Nonsense Ways To Get Relief
January 8, 2010 • Category : Women's Issues
Home remedies for bacterial vaginosis can work extremely well, indeed the success rate is much higher than conventional meds and this is due to the very nature of the condition.
Bacterial vaginosis is caused due to an imbalance of naturally occurring bacteria of the vagina and can be caused as a result of many different factors and this is what makes successful treatment difficult. Conventional treatment only deals with the symptoms as it can be so difficult to isolate and treat the root causes. This logically means that there is a high likelihood of recurrence as the causes will still be there even after meds have eased the symptoms. This is why over three quarters of women who take antibiotics for this condition will have repeat attacks, often within just a few short weeks.
On the other hand, home remedies for bacterial vaginosis focus on treating all possible and potential root causes and eliminate them and this is the only way to ensure that you remain free of the condition for life, even if you have been unfortunate to have suffered from BV for years.
To get you on the right track, there are a number of simple tips you can put into practice right away. These will begin to tackle some of the known root causes and give you some relief.
* Wash no more than twice a day and use only unperfumed soap
* Use condoms for intercourse until you are completely free of BV
* Wear light, cotton panties
* Place a wrapped ice pack or cold facecloth on the vaginal area to help soothe
* Tea tree oil can help fight the bacteria associated with BV-add a few drops to a warm bath
To get rid of the condition permanently and eliminate the causes, you will need a systematic approach. Although some women are dismayed to learn that there is no "quick-fix", they are often pleased to learn that home remedies for bacterial vaginosis can be extremely effective, with most women getting relief from the itching and burning within hours and the condition can be completely eliminated within 3 short days.
