After sharing home remedies for treating bacterial vaginosis, Barbara Allan, author of Conquering Arthritis, shares information about how to prevent the infection entirely.
Phoenix, United States - June 18, 2018 /NewsNetwork/ —
With over 3 million cases reported per year in the US, bacterial vaginosis is a loathsome -but preventable- problem for women. Barbara Allan, author of Conquering Arthritis, has just recently updated her widely-used article, “How to Cure Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) Naturally with Home Remedies,” to include information about how to prevent the infection entirely.
She states, “If you’re someone who is prone to getting bacterial vaginosis, the way that you can prevent it from recurring is the same way you treat the infection after it occurs. The only difference in treatment is being proactive.”
Allan explains, if you are prescribed a course of any type of antibiotics, start taking probiotics that reseed your vaginal bacteria right away. Continue taking them while you take the antibiotics and after for at least one month. This will ensure you don’t let your population of healthy vaginal flora die out. Some practitioners suggest taking probiotics daily, no matter how healthy you are. This is like an insurance policy that proactively promotes wellness so bacterial vaginosis never returns.
Because vaginal pH needs to stay low for healthy bacteria to flourish, if you know you’re going to engage in activity that will alkalize your pH, like having sexual intercourse, you can insert a vitamin C tablet afterwards. The vitamin C will slowly dissolve, lowering your vaginal pH and making it impossible for bad bacteria to grow.
Allan goes on to emphasize the importance of paying attention to your monthly cycle as well. For some women, they’re most susceptible in the days leading up to and at the end of their menstrual cycle. During this time, vaginal pH can become higher, making it easy for bad bacteria to grow. If this is a problem for you, Allan suggests inserting vitamin C or douching with apple cider vinegar. Both of these treatments will bring your vaginal pH back into the healthy zone.
