If you are like the majority of women who suffer from BV and cannot seem to shake off the condition, there may be very good reasons why this is the case. If you are struggling to get rid of bacterial vaginosis is could be your approach to treatment which is the problem.
There are various options for treating BV ranging from conventional antibiotics or over the counter remedies, through to natural treatments, such as the use of probiotics or even cider vinegar. Now all of these various treatments can have some beneficial effect, but the main problem is that most women choose just one option and herein lies the problem.
Bacterial vaginosis forms as a result of an imbalance of bacteria within the vagina. Under normal circumstances, both beneficial and harmful bacteria live in relative harmony, with the beneficial bacteria keeping matters under control. There are many different reasons why a women might get BV-some are quite simply “one offs” and the condition disappears as quickly as it came, never to return! Sadly though, most women are prone to repeated attacks and some of the more common reasons for this include:
- Overwashing
- Douching
- A change of sexual partner
- Using perfumed products on the vaginal area
- Wearing tight fitting panties made from synthetic fabrics
- Wearing tight trousers
- Eating a poor diet
- Smoking
It is rarely easy to identify just one simple cause and very often, BV is caused by the subtle interaction of a number of causes-and you may well have your suspicions as to which are applicable to you. To get rid of bacterial vaginosis, it is absolutely essential that you not only treat the symptoms, but you use methods to eliminate all possible root causes. Most women stop short of this, simply using methods to get symptomatic relief, such as antibiotics, which simply kill off bacteria, but when you think about it, they do absolutely nothing to stop the condition returning, on the assumption that whatever caused the condition to start with is still very likely to be there.
The following steps must be used in combination, if you want to be sure that you will get rid of bacterial vaginosis:
- Killing off harmful bacteri
- Replenishing the vagina’s depleted supplies of good bacteria
- Rebalancing the pH level
- Providing symptomatic relief
- Enhancing the immune system
If the strategy you are using, or have used in the past, does not include the above steps, then this is very likely to be the reason why your BV has returned iMuslim. If you are getting recurrent BV, then it is sensible to take action as repeated episodes can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility.
