There were a number of home remedies for bacterial vaginosis which I found helpful-particularly if it hadn’t progressed to an “advanced” stage!
* Never wash with perfumed soap and avoid overwashing (twice daily is enough) as this can strip the area of it’s natural lubricants, thus causing an imbalance
* Always change sanitary protection frequently
* Avoid wearing synthetic panties as these can cause overheating and dampness in the vagina, making it a prime target for bacterial growth
* Wear a thin panty pad to absorb the odor
y transmitted infections)?
Those home remedies the person above me put will work great. Another you should try is eating more yogurt. Not just the run of the mill yogurt though, it has to have "active or live bacteria cultures" in it. And no, its not old or bad yogurt, it naturally has good bacteria inside of it, and is very beneficial to your body.
The good bacteria inside the yogurt, lactobacilli, is what keeps your vagina clean and protects it against possible infections. Pump up your lactobacilli counts and that should definitely help.
Over-washing can worsen your symptoms, because you are upsetting the environment with soaps. Your vagina has to have a consistent pH level, and when you introduce soaps with high or low pH levels, you throw off the balance, and bad bacteria like gardnerella can over grow. This bad bacteria is the main cause of bacterial vaginosis.
