Bacterial Vaginosis? Does anyone know how to cure this naturally? |
I get frequent BV infections. I do not like prescription medications as i feel they merely treat the symptoms and don't cure the problem. I'm curious to know if anyone has some alternative methods worth trying. 1.Grapefruit Seed Extract - (10 to 20 drops in two cups of water) - every 12 hours for 3 consecutive days. 2.Daily vaginal douches with a 0.4% solution of tea tree oil in one quart of water - an effective treatment for trichomonas when continued for several days in a row. This percentage can be approximated by adding 1 teaspoon of tea tree oil to 2 cups of water. 3.The best cure for vaginal yeast infections (yeast vaginitis) is cheap, safe and more effective than the over-the-counter or prescribed drugs. Simply insert boric acid capsules into your vagina twice per day for 5-14 days (although it may be cured after just a single day). Discontinue if you get a bloody discharge. Carefully fill up size zero (single 'ought' or "0") veggie caps (available at a health food store) with boric acid, using the tip of a knife. Insert deeply into your vagina. You may want to wear a pad as it tends to be runny. It can also be helpful to take some of the loose powder and spread it on the labia. Make sure to lift the clitoral hood, where the infection seems to stagnate for some reason. Make sure you do this only after cleansing all areas thoroughly, including under the clitoral hood. This helps to relieve external itching. Boric acid is toxic if taken internally, but safe when used vaginally.If recurrent yeast infections have been a problem, they can be prevented by using one capsule of boric acid vaginally at bedtime twice per week, beginning one week after menstruation. The use of a panty liner is recommended. 4.Twice-daily vaginal douches, using 2 teaspoons full of acidophilus/bifidus powder in a quart of warm water, will help treat many recurrent vaginal yeast infections. Even just taking probiotics orally will increase the colonization of these organisms in the vagina and help prevent infections from occurring. 5.Sitz baths can powerfully affect the organs of the lower abdomen and pelvis. eat yoghurts, drink cranberry juice and lotsa plain water... recurrent bacterial vaginosis is related to personal hygiene. Whatever you are putting in there regularly isn't clean enough. Unfortunately, because it is "bacterial", the only thing that will get rid of it is antibiotics. Consider giving up tub baths, if you take them. Go to only showers. RN yogurt pills, I've had a BV before, after beeing on antibiotics which destroys some sort of bacteria that your body needs, and yogourt has the bacteria. They sell yogourt pills in GNC or any other vitamine shoppe. Also you can eat about 8oz of natural yogourt a day and that should fix the problem. It worked for me. I know how uncomfortable it can be....Good luck today, (march 20th) is you open MSN home page, there's an article about yogourt. You will see a bowl of yogourt right at top. Well they are talking about vagina problems on the second page and how antibiotics destroys some of the good bacteria. It's interesting to read. Also a lot of positive about eating yogourt, cancer, bad breath,etc. If the infection isn't treated, the bacteria may get up into the uterus or the fallopian tubes and cause more serious infections. You need to use the medications or risk other infections. Be sure you are eating plenty of yogurt with live active cultures or taking acidophillis capsules to help keep your bacteria healthy and do not douche without a docs order. Do not use soaps in the vaginal area and be sure you wear only 100% cotton underwear. |
