Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is a common condition caused by an imbalance of vaginal pH and bacteria. Your body always has bacteria within it, most of which are harmless when their levels are in balance. However, if the bacteria becomes unbalanced you can end up developing conditions like BV.

Doctors don’t know the exact reason why bacteria in the vagina can become unbalanced, but there are certain factors that make a woman more likely to develop BV. These include:

• Being sexually active
• Having multiple sexual partners
• Smoking cigarettes
• Using douches
• Having an IUD
• Using perfumed cosmetics in and around the vagina
• Being Pregnant

While bacterial vaginosis isn’t a sexually transmitted infection (STI), it can be passed from woman to woman during sex. Having BV also makes you more susceptible to getting an STI.  

Bacterial Vaginosis Symptoms

It’s possible to have Bacterial Vaginosis without knowing it because sometimes BV causes no symptoms.  If you do become symptomatic, the main symptom is a thin white, grey or green vaginal discharge.

Other BV Symptoms:

• A foul or fishy odour from the vagina
• A foul odour that becomes worse after sex
• Itching, burning, or pain in the vagina
• Burning when urinating
• BV and Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, it’s important to treat BV right away. While it doesn’t cause any problems in most pregnancies, having bacterial vaginosis makes certain complications like premature birth more likely. BV has also been linked to miscarriage as well as babies born with low birth weight.

Best Treatments for Bacterial Vaginosis

1. Garlic: Garlic has been recognized for centuries for its antibacterial properties. In fact, studies have shown promising levels of success in women with BV who orally take garlic supplements. You should only take the tablets by mouth and never insert them into the vagina.
2. Probiotics: Probiotic supplements help promote and introduce healthy bacteria into your body. Evidence shows that when probiotics are taken regularly, these healthy bacteria can help prevent and treat bacterial vaginosis. Antibiotics can kill off good bacteria as well as the bad so if you are taking antibiotics, probiotic supplements can help restore your good bacteria. Good bacteria can also be found in yoghurt.
3. Boric Acid: Research has shown that boric acid vaginal suppositories can sometimes be just as effective as medical forms of BV treatment, even in recurrent BV. While safe to insert into the vagina, boric acid is toxic by mouth so be sure to keep it stored safely and wash your hands after handling it.  
   Taking supplements is a great and easy way to boost your health and help resolve many different types of health concerns. If these methods aren’t working for your BV, however, you may need an antibiotic called Metronidazole. Metronidazole antibiotic tablets are arguably the gold standard when it comes to treating bacterial vaginosis. It works by stopping the growth of certain types of bacteria, including the bacteria that cause BV.

Another popular choice for BV treatment is Dalacin Cream. It is an antibiotic cream that is inserted into the vagina to target the bacteria causing BV.
