How Can I Treat BV
Posted byBV under Bacterial Vaginosis Treatment
If you read some of the forums where women are talking about their own Bacterial Vaginosis Treatment or how they got rid of their BV it seems like all some of them had to do was spread a little yogurt on themselves and their problem goes away just like that.
If you go to a doctor he is going to give you a prescription for an antibiotic and that will be the end of it as far as he is concerned. Doctors don't even know what causes BV but since it is a bacterial infection they know that antibiotics will generally get rid of it, at least for a while. Problem is, many women will simply get BV again within a few months time.
The best things you can do for yourself is to start taking probiotics and eating fresh food. Avoid cooked food as much as possible. You want fresh raw vegetables and fruit. Do not eat prepared food like from a restaurant or from the frozen food section in your grocery store. Don't eat stuff made from a box (like hamburger helper). You want lots of fresh vitamins and minerals and other nutrients.
I bet you have tried washing or douching this problem away. Doesn't work does it? Most women try the washing or douching routine, thinking the problem has to do with being dirty or unclean. This approach is just plain wrong and will not solve Bacterial Vaginosis.
You can wish as hard as you want but you cannot wash this problem away. It didn't start because you were "dirty down there" and it won't go away because you start using wipes with alcohol or baby wipes or any of that type of product. That stuff isn't good for helping and could be part of the problem by making your vaginal environment less acidic and killing off the good bacteria you need.
So like I suggested earlier, start taking a bunch of good bacteria, called probiotics. You can't overdose on it so don't be afraid to take extra. This good bacteria can help fight off the overgrowth of bad bacteria that is causing the problem.
