Wakulla Area

Bacterial vaginosis is a form of vaginitis. Vaginosis happens when bad bacteria in the vagina grows in numbers. This growth leads to your vagina’s PH levels. Women who have such a condition may feel painful itching and have a foul-smelling discharge. It is a good thing however, that there are home remedies for bacterial vaginosis that you can try. Eating plain, organic yogurt is among the best solutions to balance the bacteria that occur naturally in the vagina. The yogurt can help restore normal PH balance and relieve the condition.

Do not, under any circumstances, try to use douche. The chemicals found in

such products will cause more trouble in your natural pH balance. Other home remedies include the use of tea tree oil. Mix a half teaspoon of tea tree oil with a half teaspoon of water and wipe the affected areas with the mixture using a soft cloth. Do not wear tight fitting clothes and underwear. Avoid wearing thongs and opt instead for breathable, loose underwear that are made of cotton to help alleviate symptoms of BV. When you are wiping yourself, always wipe from front to the back. This will help prevent bacteria from the rectal area to go to your vaginal region.
