What is bacterial vaginosis exactly? Before we can give consideration to cures for BV, it’s absolutely imperative to understand precisely what the condition entails. Bacterial vaginosis is a type of infection inside the vaginal area due to the presence of harmful bacteria. Apart from the vagina, the infection can also affect the upper reproductive tract.
It is not generally known what directly causes bacterial vaginosis, but one factor is the improper balance bacteria and other organisms found naturally in the vagina. The disruptions in the balance inhibit the performance of protective bacteria, specifically lactobacilli which opens the vagina to an attack by bad organisms. Bacteria spread to the vaginal area from the rectum can also cause bacterial vaginosis.
A number of factors have been identified to contribute to the development of this infectious disease. These factors include but are definitely not limited to poor hygiene, stress, vaginal douching, hot weather, and even intrauterine birth control devices. Multiple sex partners can also increase your risk of developing the condition. Abstinent women as well as virgins may however also suffer from the condition.
Bacterial vaginosis symptoms and signs include increased discharge with fishy or musky odor, itching, burning, discomfort and pain, in or around the genital area. It is possible for some women experience bleeding also.
Fortunately, easy and effective cures for BV are a proper diagnosis away. Oral antibiotics, gels and creams are some of the most common cures for BV with Cleocin or Flagyl for three to seven days, topping the list of most popular treatments. Symptoms may disappear immediately or within a couple of hours, it is however important to complete the course of medication in exact manner as directed by your physician.
Future infection outbreaks are easily preventable by merely following a couple easy steps. After bowel movements wipe from front to back, avoid douching except in the case of antibiotic treatment, cleanse the vagina regularly and dry thoroughly, steer clear from tight clothing, wear 100 percent cotton underwear, practice safe sex by using a condom unless you are very sure of your partner's sexual behavior and last but definitely not least applicators as well as removable birth control devices should be kept clean and disinfected.
Consult your doctor as soon as any of the signs or symptoms of bacterial vaginosis appear. Untreated bacterial vaginosis can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, cervicitis, and general complications especially during pregnancy. An annual gynecological examination is absolutely imperative due the fact that as much as 50 percent of women with the disease don't notice or develop any symptoms or signs. While cures for BV are available, prevention is the best course of treatment.
The occurrence of bacterial vaginosis is a pretty common occurrence among women. Well over a million women will have this problem each year. Of all the home remedies some women use for bacterial vaginosis, boric acid probably ranks among the most common home treatments. The real question is, does boric acid really work or is it just an old wives' tale?
Do You Have Bacterial Vaginosis?
The first question that must be answered is do you really have bacterial vaginosis. It is possible to feel itching, pain while urinating, pain while having sex, or a discharge that is white or gray. Plus you may notice that you smell a bit fishy in the vaginal area, all these are warning signs that may point to the fact that you have bacterial vaginosis.
When to Tell the Doctor
Should you be pregnant it's very important that you tell your doctor if you've experienced any signs of bacterial vaginosis or have any symptoms which are out of the ordinary. There is some research which indicates that if left untreated bacterial vaginosis could lead to premature birth, so don't take a risk with your baby. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions during pregnancy; it is a good idea to avoid any treatments that are not prescribed by your doctor.
Why Boric Acid?
For those women who have suffered from bacterial vaginosis boric acid has proven to be an effective treatment. Boric acid is a white powdery substance with properties that are anti fungal and antiviral. Since bacterial vaginosis is commonly caused by a bacterial infection or other types of infection, boric acid can help get rid of the bacteria that is causing the infection.
You can find pre-made bacterial vaginosis boric acid capsules that can be placed into your vaginal area, but you also have the option of making your own capsules. You can purchase empty natural gelatin capsules from the health food store and pharmaceutical grade boric acid at the drug store.
To make your own bacterial vaginosis boric acid capsules, you will need to place approximately 500 mg or about 1/8 teaspoon, into each capsule. Insert one capsule each night at bedtime and cleanse in the morning. Do this for a total of two weeks. At that point you should be rid of your bacterial vaginosis and hopefully will never see it again.
How to Avoid Getting Bacterial Vaginosis
To avoid getting bacterial vaginosis again don't use scented tampons, or scented soap when you wash up your vaginal area. The perfumes in them may cause these bacterial growths or upset the balance of good versus bad bacteria. When you wash your panties, make sure you've gotten all the soap out of them. Practice good hygiene as well as protected sex to avoid future occurrences.
