Natural Treatments And Cures Of Bacterial Vaginosis

If you have bacterial vaginosis, you are already aware that it is a huge problem. In fact, you have probably already tried to treat the problem with prescription antibiotics. That probably worked for a while, but relapses are common when you use that method. That's why more people are looking for completely natural bacterial vaginosis treatment options.

Why Antibiotics Cause Relapses:

There are a couple of simple reasons why antibiotics can cause BV relapses, or at least leave you wide open for a potential relapse. First of all, a lot of people start to feel better shortly after going on antibiotics. Then, they stop taking the antibiotics early. You shouldn't bother taking antibiotics, if you plan to do that, because you won't cure your BV.

The other huge problem with antibiotics as a BV treatment is that they aren't discriminating. In other words, they kill all bacteria, including the good bacteria that your vagina needs to stay healthy and keep infections out. When you add the fact that antibiotics can create awful side effects and actually make you feel worse, you can easily see why a more natural approach to the problem is needed.
