Hi, unfortunately many women suffer with bacterial vaginosis on a regular basis, it’s just that nobody talks about it.
The problem is that not many medications work too well for BV, the reason is that they only tend to target the symptoms, meaning that the cause still remains. While the cause is still there, you will continue to get the symptoms.
The reason that you have Bacterial Vaginosis is that you have too much bad bacteria in your vagina. Don’t fret too much about this, the vagina has good and bad bacteria and both types are needed, as they perform different functions. The problem occurs when the bad start out numbering the good.
Basically you need to reduce the bad bacteria, and you can do this in a few ways. The first is to add a few table spoons to a bath, and just get in for about 15 minutes. The acid in the vinegar helps to kill the bad bacteria.
Another good way is to insert a clove of garlic into your vagina just before you go to sleep. This sounds a bbit nasty but it can really help, just remember to take it out in the morning.
Hope that this was useful for you, have a look at the resource below for more natural remedies for bacterial vaginosis, take care.

it’s when your bad bacteria overgrows your good
it’s normal and very common.. the mirena could be a foriegn in you’re body causing an infection
birth control usually helps with infections. i would contact your doctor
Hi – trust you are taking antibiotics to treat bv. Antibiotics do kill the harmful infection causing bacteria. However they are not capable of distinguishing between beneficial and harmful bacteria and hence destroy both the bad and the good ones needed for a healthy vagina.although you may be getting immeidate relief after taking antibiotics the infection will reappear as soon as the medicine effect wears off.
Rather than antibiotics therefore it makes sense to give home remedies for bv cure a try to treat the infection. Following are specific remedies to provide relief from vaginosis symptoms
