Bacterial Vaginosis: How to Relief Yourself from Bacterial Vaginosis


For most any chronic problem in the vaginal area,women are often told it’s “just a yeast infection.” After a few such experiences,many women don’t even bother to go to the gynecologist since they assume that this is a recurrence of the yeast infections.

Instead of seeking medical advice,they try for the easy fix. They think that’s found at the local drugstore.

So they buy an over-the-counter slimy cream,or a powder that gets all over clothes and linens. But it’s cheaper than a prescription drug and quick to obtain,so it makes sense at the time.

Then there are the hand-me-down yeast infection remedies - hot baths,cold baths,ice (ugh?) or drinking gallons of cranberry juice. No wonder women are frustrated by this problem.

What they don’t know is that they may be treating THE WRONG PROBLEM. The persistent yeast infection is actually Bacterial Vaginosis (also called BV).

While certain aspects of BV may feel similar to a yeast infection,these conditions are not the same. Think of it this way: If you get sick and assume that it’s only a head cold,you will under-treat the cold.

You might feel better for a week,but the bug isn’t gone. What you really had was the flu and it’s not finished with you yet. The milder medications that you took might slow down the flu bug,but it wasn’t a knock-out punch - so the flu comes back with a vengeance,bringing more symptoms that hang on longer.

If only you had known it was the flu and taken the right medication to kill instead of merely stun the flu bug,you’d feel a whole lot better - faster.

That’s similar to what happens when you attempt to treat BV as if it’s a yeast infection. You’re merely prolonging the agony. BV is both physically and emotionally uncomfortable.
