The only type of BV treatment that can cure your bacterial vaginosis permanently, is the type that focuses on changing the environment inside your vagina, rather than just killing off the bacterial.
When you do this the bad bacteria that have built up to cause all the foul smells, discharge, burning, discomfort and whatever else you may feel will die away naturally.
If you can change the environment inside your vagina, there is no way that bad bacteria can come back.
So you will be free of BV forever! Antibiotics and douching only clean out or kill the bacteria.
They do nothing to change the subtle chemical balance within your vagina, so the bacteria just grow back and you get BV all over again.
"What Are These Natural And Permanent BV Treatments And How Do They Work?" To understand how these natural BV Treatments work, you have to first know a few things about how you get bacterial vaginosis.
Normally, your vagina is a very acidic environment where bad bacteria cannot survive.
The vagina is made acidic by a strain of good bacteria called Lactobacillus acidophilus.
These good bacteria release all sorts of chemicals including lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide, which help to keep your vagina nice and healthy.
Bacterial vaginosis happens when the good bacteria inside your vagina are either disrupted or killed.
It can also happen when your immune system is weakened by for example, certain medical drugs, illnesses, and stress.
When this happens the bad bacteria overgrow and give you the bad odors, discharge and everything else you get with BV.
Antibiotics are only a short-term treatment for bacterial vaginosis.
They just kill off all the bad and good bacteria in your vagina.
They do not help to produce more good bacteria, they do not change the acid levels in your vagina back to its natural, healthy state.
That's why in most women the BV just comes back a few weeks after antibiotic BV treatment.
Natural BV treatment works much better than antibiotics and can keep bacterial vaginosis away forever.
It involves increasing the level of good, Lactobacillus bacteria in your vagina, strengthening your immune system and changing the environment inside your vagina so bad bacteria can no longer survive.
Eating yogurt rich in live Lactobacillus bacteria is an example of a natural long term and in many cases, permanent cure for bacterial vaginosis.
This type of yogurt whether eaten or applied directly to the vaginal area using an applicator, has been shown in scientific studies, to increase the number of good bacteria inside your vagina.
These good bacteria then release healthy acids and hydrogen peroxide to kill off the over-grown bad bacteria, thereby getting rid of the fishy smell and discharge and allowing your vagina to go back to its fresh, clean and healthy state.
