Bacterial Vaginosis - Help & Treatment http://www.bacterialvaginosisweb.com The Bacterial Vaginosis Resource Sun, 30 May 2010 10:45:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Got Vaginitis? How to Tell the Difference Between Yeast Infection and Bacterial Vaginosis http://www.bacterialvaginosisweb.com/got-vaginitis-how-to-tell-the-difference-between-yeast-infection-and-bacterial-vaginosis http://www.bacterialvaginosisweb.com/got-vaginitis-how-to-tell-the-difference-between-yeast-infection-and-bacterial-vaginosis#comments Wed, 26 May 2010 09:21:57 +0000 Chrysten Candida or yeast infection is often mistaken for Bacterial Vaginosis .  In both cases there is vaginitis – that’s, swelling and irritation from the vulva and vagina, and you can find some comparable symtoms.  But there, the similarity ends.

Yeast infection is caused by a fungal organism called Candida albicans which is always present in and for the body.  Sometimes factors such as the use of antibiotics, stress or poor diet result in an imbalance and the fungus grows rapidly out of control.  Should you get yeast infection, you are able to anticipate plenty of itching. The discharge, if you get 1, is easily recognised as it can be white and curd-like.  There is not necessarily any smell, but if there is certainly one, you can expect it to be like bread or yeast or beer.

By contrast, Bacterial Vaginosis results from a bacterial infection – a frequent culprit is Gardnerella vaginalis.  It isn’t classified as a sexually transmitted infection – but it can be much more prevalent in individuals with multiple sexual  partners and may be transmitted sexually.   Not everybody who gets Bacterial Vaginosis gets an offensive smell with it, but the smell could be unpleasant – a strong fishy odor.  If you’ve a discharge, it may possibly be white or yellow.    A litmus test may possibly be conducted by your physician to confirm the diagnosis – a pH above 4.5 is strongly suggestive of Bacterial Vaginosis infection.

This leads me to an important point.  If you have symptoms, it can be important to visit your medical care practitioner to get a precise diagnosis.  Other possibilities contain Atrophic Vaginitis, Trichomoniasis and Genital Herpes to name several.

Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have comparable symptoms to both Candida and Bacterial Vaginosis  – it’s even typical to have an STI and have no symptoms at all whilst all type of damage may be going on internally.  It is critical to know exactly what you’re dealing with so which you can treat it appropriately.  There may possibly or may not be an odor and there may possibly or may not be a discharge – this makes it tough to understand for sure.

Meanwhile, it’s common sense to avoid scented lotions, douches and baths and to use cotton underwear which you change frequently.  And go to your doctor as soon as feasible for  an examination.

What exactly is Bacterial Vaginitis and How can You Treat it?

Simply spoken, Bacterial Vaginitis occurs when the natural and normal balance of microorganisms in the vagina is getting out of control.

Vaginitis should not be mixed up with having a candida yeast infection, although the symptoms can look very much the same. Sometimes the same treatment as for bacterial vaginitis can also help to cure candida.

An effective cure for bacterial vaginitis is not as hard to obtain as you might assume. Bacterial vaginitis (bacterial vaginosis) is a very common condition amongst many women.

Actually it is just about the most frequent of such conditions and can be encountered by women of all ages. It is very common that it causes quite some degree of psychological stress and annoyance, however it is not a life threatening condition.

Discharge

The discharge produced by Bacterial Vaginitis is particularly common right after intercourse, although it can appear any other time also.

Its appearance is usually of a bright yellow-color and also thin in consistency. Other signs or symptoms could be excessive itching in addition to uncomfortable swelling of the vagina and vulva. And of course there is the hint of the distinctive fishy odour.

That smell is apparent upon discharge but it stays until the conditions is gone. Douches wont help, they actually make the condition even worse. Doctors quite often aren’t sure themselves which condition (vaginosis, candida) it is and then simply move through whatever treatment options  until something finally works.

Important is that we want to make sure that we are not dealing with candida, thrush or candida albicans or trichomoniasis. After we have the right diagnosis we can start treating, but not before we actually know what we are dealing with.

Main Reason for Bacterial Vaginitis

A root cause, as we know, is a higher than normal ph level compared to the typical pH level within the vagina. Harmful microbial growth is limited in the vagina as long as the acidic pH level stays normal at about 3.7 to 4.2.

But if this level goes up towards the alkaline area of the scale and exceeds 4.5, the harmful bacteria start to take over – starting to give off that distinct fishy odor.

What medication works best? Antibiotics or perhaps an alternative Natural Treatment for Bacterial Vaginitis?

For many doctors, anti-biotics are always the first and initial option and there’s no reason to believe this will change in mainstream medicine any time soon.

According to medical studies, we know that medication with antibiotics is only successful for 16% of all women and then in parts for about 38% of women. A further problem is the extremely high rate of reccurence of the vaginitis if it is treated with antibiotics.

And then there are naturals cures for vaginitis with an astonishing success rate of over 90% for sufferers. And: The actual ingredients cost only a few dollars and such natural treatment is usually working right away or in very short time.

It is no surprise that a growing number of doctors tend to be leading sufferers in direction of a natural cure when it comes to bacterial vaginitis. Better even, antibiotics lose its effectiveness over time and natural healing methods often do not, let alone that mainstream medication like antibiotics often have serious side effects.

Natural treatment of Bacterial Vaginitis is therefore preferred for many reasons.

To understand why many women suffer from recurring Bacterial Vaginosis we first need to examine what BV is and what the usual treatment options are:

Bacterial Vaginosis the result of an imbalance of the bacteria and ph level in the vagina. Under normal circumstances a women has just the right amount of “good” and “bad” bacteria. The normal ph level in the vagina is just right to support the growth of the beneficial bacteria.

Because the vagina is such a sensitive and balanced system it is also pretty easy to disturb the healthy balance in the vagina. Ph levels can shift easily which will allow an overgrowth of the bad bacteria and thus cause an occurrence of BV.

The problem is that the common treatment options (Antibiotics) are everything BUT sensitive in regards to the vagina’s healthy bacterial flora.

Antibiotics would simply kill all the bacteria because they don’t differ between the good ones and the bad ones. The antibiotics might have gotten rid of an acute BV infection temporarily (by killing the bacteria), but the healthy balance in the vagina is still thrown off, making way for the next vaginosis to appear.

Recurrent bacterial vaginosis might be impossible to cure using antibiotics alone. It has been observed that women suffered for years from BV recurrence, simply visiting the doctor over and over without really ever gotten rid of the problem.

However, women reported success in treating their recurrent BV using a multifaceted and natural approach which includes, but is not limit to:

* Healthy Nutrition rich in Vitamins
* Fewer sexual partners
* No use of scented soaps and washes
* Quitting Smoking

Enhancing and helping the natural, good bacterial flora in the vagina

Supplementing and enhancing the beneficial bacteria is a common approach to battle Vaginosis. Success has been reported by a number of women who used probiotics, either externally or in the form of probiotic capsules from the drug store. Another group of women reported success in treating their BV with boric acid which can be purchased over the counter also.

Cider vinegar baths have also shown a beneficial effect. You can give a couple of cupfuls to a shallow bath and sit in it for 20 minutes.

As it looks, the use of antibiotics does often more harm than good, especially when it comes to the treatment of recurrent vaginosis. We really want to give the natural methods a preference.

Here are some facts:

Many women might mistakenly think that they have a yeast infection, or so they think. They observe the common symptoms like odor and discharge and attest this to having a yeast infection (Candida).

Fact:

A yeast infection usually does not cause smelly discharge. If there is discharge with a bad odor it is usually because of an bacterial infection, bacterial vaginitis or vaginosis.

Yeast Infection Symptoms

Not all women will show the same exact symptoms of a yeast infection, the symptoms sometimes can vary. Burning and itching is very common as well as pain during sex. Furthermore, we can observe a white and clumpy discharge, but this vaginal discharge has usually no odor. This lack of odor is usually a sign that we deal with a yeast infection and not with BV or another vaginal infection caused by bacteria.

The candida yeast infection is caused by an abundance of the candida albicans fungus (hence the name). Some causes for the appearance of candida could be taking antibiotics, high estrogen levels or diabetes.

Here we can also see the problem: We need to have a clear diagnosis whether we deal with vaginosis or a yeast infection since treating each the wrong way would have exactly the opposite effect.

Eliminating the “good” bacteria in the vagina with antibiotics is likely to cause a yeast infection, as so often observed in women who are treated for BV. It is common for those patients to get a yeast infection in return after their vaginosis has been treated. What is good for treating one condition is bad if we suffer from the other.

It is therefore important to have the right diagnosis whether we deal with candida or vaginosis, and then go from there with treatment options. Once we know we deal with a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis we can choose the right treatment options.

Vaginitis is the broader medical term which can describe a number of conditions of the vagina, like infections or inflammations. Vulvovaginitis is an inflammation of both the vagina and the outer female parts, the vulva.

The cause of a vaginitis can therefore be both:

A vaginal infection as well as an irritation from contact with chemicals or clothes. An infection (as opposed to an irritation) is usually caused by bacteria, viruses or yeast.

Depending on what causes the infection, the symptoms may vary.

The most common symptoms of Vaginitis:

  • Vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor.
  • Burning and itching.
  • Discomfort during sexual activity.

What Vaginal Discharge is considered normal?

A certain amount of clear and odor-less discharge is considered normal for most women. But a vaginal discharge that has an odor or that is irritating can be considered abnormal discharge and needs to be looked at. Such abnormal discharge can be especially annoying and irritating at night and during sexual activity.

It is advised to consult your doctor or gynecologist if you note any such changes in the discharge.

Types of Vaginal Infections

The most common forms of infection

  • Candida (Yeast Infection)
  • Bacterial Vaginosis
  • Trichomoniasis vaginitis
  • Chlamydia
  • Viral vaginitis
  • Non-infectious vaginitis

It might be difficult to differentiate the exact types of infection and get a clear diagnosis since the symptoms can often be very similar. Furthermore, it can happen that several infections appear at the same time so its not always easy to make a diagnosis.

It is important to consult your doctor at the first appearance of symptoms because only a doctor can do the right diagnosis.

See Vaginal Infections for more information.

It is a type of vaginal infection which is the result of the bacteria within the vagina becoming unbalanced, with an overgrowth of a particular type of bacteria. The condition was once called Gardnerella vaginitis, but it has now become known that there is more than one type of bacteria which live within the vagina, so the name was not technically accurate.

What are the common symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis?

Bacterial vaginosis usually has but two noticeable symptoms, which are vaginal discharge and odor. When a woman detects these symptoms, she should be checked by her physician to rule out other diseases, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, which also have these symptoms as an indicator. Some women may not even exhibit both of these symptoms and still have the condition, that’s why it’s important to see your doctor should you notice a marginal difference in the usual amount of discharge, or a strange odor.

What treatments are available for this condition?

The main course of treatment for bacterial vaginosis is antibiotics. The medications used to treat it are available in both oral and vaginal insertion form. Both forms of antibiotics have been proven effective in clearing the infection; however the pill form does tend to have some side effects which the vaginal gel does not. Either course will clear the condition quite effectively.

After treatment, can I get Bacterial Vaginosis again?

Unfortunately, the answer is yes, you can have it again. As a matter of fact, it is possible for some women to need two courses of back to back antibiotics in order to completely rid themselves of the condition. Even then, it may come back again in the future, and require treatment once again.

Since it can be a recurrent problem, what am I doing to cause it?

Actually, you may not be the cause of the recurrence of bacterial vaginosis. It is widely believed that douching, smoking and having multiple sexual partners may dramatically raise your risk factors for the disease, however these factors may be absent and bacterial vaginosis still exist.

Is there any possible health risks associated with Bacterial Vaginosis?

If you are pregnant, then yes there is a risk of both premature labor and premature birth if the condition is not properly treated. The amniotic fluid may also become infected, so it is especially important to let your physician know of any changes in your vaginal discharge.

For years, Julie had tried numerous bacterial vaginosis treatments and had suffered from many episodes of this unpleasant condition. So much so that it was literally ruining her life.

She had to contend with all the usual symptoms, such as the burning itching, the grey, watery discharge and that sickly, horrible, stomach-churning smell. Julie was literally at the end of her tether and having tried just about every bv treatment going, a good friend recommended a natural treatment. Rather skeptically, she gave it a go and she has allowed me to tell her story.

“Around Christmas last year, I began to notice that I smelled really bad. Not just the usual “womanly” type smell, but this was really offensive-so much so that I began to feel like vomiting. At first I wondered if I was not washing enough, so I started to fit in an extra shower at night as well as my morning one. Even so, it just got worse. I was living at home at the time and my mom mentioned that she had noticed a “smell” (in the way that only mom’s can!). We talked about it and the next day, I went to see my doctor. He was a bit dismissive really, but said he was sure I had “Bacterial Vaginosis” and sent me away with some antibiotics.

I’d never heard of this, but I took the antibiotics and within a couple of days, my symptoms subsided and I was back to normal. I felt an incredible sense of relief and my confidence returned. However, it was short-lived!

Within a few short weeks, I noticed that now-familiar itching and that smell.

By this time I’d managed to get myself a boyfriend and it was early days. This was the last thing I needed. I immediately went to the doctors for more antibiotics and they sure seemed to do their job again. This happened twice more within just a few months and I was tearing my hair out. The antibiotics just didn’t seem to be clearing it properly. I spent a fortune on over the counter bacterial vaginosis treatments but they were, quite frankly, an expensive waste of money.

I carried wet-wipes with me everywhere, plus clean underwear. I seemed to spend half my life in the restrooms, cleaning myself up, but I really stank. Things had moved on with my boyfriend and we began to have a sexual relationship. I just couldn’t bring myself to tell him about the bacterial vaginosis and I would make excuses not to have sex unless I had literally just jumped out of the shower or bath. He thought I’d gone off him. The truth was, I was ashamed!

I eventually told a really good friend of mine all about the problems with bacterial vaginosis. In fact she admitted that she’d noticed that some days I smelled bad but she didn’t know how to tell me. She’d guessed it was bacterial vaginosis and confessed that she’d had the condition a couple of years ago. This was probably my lowest point. I thought I was doing a great job of hiding it by cleaning myself up all the time but obviously not! If she’d noticed, who else had? My boss? My work colleagues? My big brother? People on the bus? How utterly embarrassing!

There were a few tips she gave me which really helped and I’d like to share them with you:-

* Try soaking a tampon in live yogurt and inserting in the vagina

* Try taking garlic capsules as this is a natural antiseptic and can help clear the inflammation

* Do not overwash and avoid the use of any perfumed products around the vaginal area

She also told me about bacterial vaginosis treatments which she had found very successful. I was really dubious at first but decided to give it a go. I guessed I had nothing to lose and there were a few things which attracted me. First of all, the treatments were “all-natural”. Secondly, it would save me lots of money-antibiotics are so expensive! Really though, I liked the fact that it promised that you would be symptom-free within 3 days. Well, after having symptoms on and off for months, I figured 3 days was not long to wait! (Plus, I had the rather nice “back up” of the “guarantee” if it didn’t work!) Basically, these no-nonsense natural remedies to treat BV naturally did exactly as promised. I began to notice a big change the next day and within 3 days, I didn’t smell horrible any more and the discharge had gone. I was back to feeling completely fresh and back to normal. I’ve never had it since!” If you would like to see the exact treatments which Julie used so successfully, you can get details of this and other helpful information about this condition by checking out treatments for bacterial vaginosis.

Like many thousands of women worldwide, you can be completely free of this condition by using natural bacterial vaginosis treatments.

Bacterial vaginosis natural cures are certainly the best option for treating this condition as once a woman develops bacterial vaginosis there is a high likelihood that she will suffer from repeated attacks over what could be a number of years.

Often when a woman first develops bacterial vaginosis, she will visit her doctor for advice and is likely to be given a prescription for antibiotics. Now although these might seem to be the solution, there are very good reasons why they are unlikely to be the best treatment option. For a doctor who is faced with a patient needing a solution to a distressing problem and a limited amount of time, they are very much a quick-fix option.

Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance in bacteria within the vagina. Under normal circumstances, the different species bacteria which live within the vagina cohabit in harmony, with the “good” bacteria keeping control of any “bad” bacteria which is unwittingly and naturally introduced. There are various reasons why the bad bacteria might suddenly grow out of control, and when this happens, the unpleasant and often distressing symptoms of bacterial vaginosis occur. These include the fishy smelling discharge, itching and soreness and occasionally the symptoms of a urinary tract infection.

When antibiotics are given, all bacteria within the vagina are killed off, and this includes the beneficial (or “good”) bacteria. Now whilst this might take away the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis in the short term, as soon as the treatment is finished and more bacteria is naturally introduced into the vagina, there are no resources left to keep control as they have also been killed off by the antibiotics.

Bacterial vaginosis natural cures work in a completely different way to this. Although the primary aim of any treatment is to kill off the bad bacteria which is causing the infection, when this is done the downside is that standard treatment kills off all bacteria.

Rather than concentrating on killing off the bad bacteria, natural cures work by enhancing and strengthening the good bacteria ensuring that it can kill off the bad bacteria as nature intended, and without any unpleasant side effects but most importantly without any repeated flare-ups!

Although some women might initially be put off, thinking that bacterial vaginosis natural cures are a less effective or slower option than antibiotics-let me reassure you. Antibiotics will begin to work within 3-5 days and may take a week to eradicate the condition. You can naturally treat bacterial vaginosis with a treatment which is completely guaranteed to get rid of the condition within 3 days. Not only that, you can learn how to eradicate some of the most unpleasant symptoms within minutes. Providing you are prepared to invest a little time and effort in learning just how to treat yourself, you will learn strategies which will ensure that you have no repetition of BV.

Over the counter treatment for bacterial vaginosis is widely available from many drugstores. There are various creams and lotions you can buy and they will undoubtedly help to soothe the affected area and bring temporary relief.

The preparations you can buy to get rid of BV can be pretty costly though and I personally found that the relief I gained was short-lived. Over a number of years, I must have bought just about everything going but found that no over the counter treatment for bacterial vaginosis actually worked to eliminate the condition. Very often these creams and lotions are combined with antibiotic treatment given on prescription which can substantially up the cost of treating just one outbreak.

Natural treatments have a much better success rate than over the counter treatments and antibiotics. However, it must be stressed that this is only when a complete strategic method is employed. Although a quick internet search will reveal many hints and tips for dealing with bacterial vaginosis, in isolation they are unlikely to provide a complete cure.

Rather than traditional over the counter treatments for bacterial vaginosis, there are a few economical items which can be bought from pharmacies which can help to treat BV. These are tea tree oil pessaries, cider vinegar and Lactobacillus tablets.

Tea tree oil pessaries can be used inside the vagina and their natural antibacterial properties can help to control the harmful bacteria which is present in the vagina when a woman has bacterial vaginosis. Cider vinegar, which is naturally acidic, can help to rebalance the ph levels of the vagina which, as a consequence of bacterial vaginosis will be out of balance. The way to use this is to sit in a bath into which a couple of cups of cider vinegar have been added. Lactobacillus a type of beneficial bacteria which helps control harmful bacteria within the body. It is naturally present in the digestive system and the vaginal tract. Depleted supplies can sometimes be the reason for bacterial vaginosis development so taking a supplement can help enhance supplies and improve the body’s ability to eliminate bacterial vaginosis.

The best way to get rid of BV (bacterial vaginosis) is by using a systematic approach. There are three excellent approaches to eliminate bacterial vaginosis, all of which are completely guaranteed to work. You can find details of the treatments at Home Remedies For Bacterial Vaginosis. All three are thorough methods which have been used very successfully by thousands of women worldwide and all will work faster than and more effectively than over the counter treatment for bacterial vaginosis.

Bacterial vaginosis natural treatment is so straightforward and makes complete sense that I often wonder why it took me so long to realize it! I mean, I’m not stupid. Going to the doctor just seemed like the right thing to do…at the time!

When I got bacterial vaginosis I didn’t know what had hit me. At first I thought I had a urinary infection as I found it painful to urinate. It was only when I realized that I had this really bad smell and nasty discharge that I knew it was something else. After a day or two of constantly washing myself, I went to the doctors and very embarrassingly explained my symptoms. I was told that I had “bacterial vaginosis” – nothing else – just that I would need some antibiotics to get rid of it.

I took the antibiotics and thankfully the smell and all the other symptoms went away pretty quickly. It didn’t take me long to forget about it. In fact, I didn’t give it another thought until about 5 weeks later when the symptoms came back even worse than before. Another visit to the doctors and another round of expensive antibiotics later and it had gone for good….or at least I thought it had.

This time I turned to the internet for advice-well, it had to be better than what my doctor had given me which was a big fat zero. All he had done was sent me packing with antibiotics and they hadn’t worked. In fact each attack I had seemed to be worse than the last one.

I was very interested to learn that you can use bacterial vaginosis natural treatment to get rid of this awful condition and that very day, I decided to give it a go. I couldn’t believe how much relief I got within just a few hours.

When you naturally treat bacterial vaginosis, the principle is that you are supporting the natural healing qualities of the body whilst using soothing treatments to give some fast relief.

Some of the bacterial vaginosis natural treatment strategies which I used are:-

* Take a bath with 2 cups of cider vinegar added to the water.

* Eat live natural yogurt as this can help support the good bacteria in the vagina.

* Soak a tampon in live yogurt and insert into the vagina.

* Avoid using perfumed products on or near to the vaginal area.

* Eat a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables.

* Try using tea tree oil pessaries directly in the vagina (ensure they are suitable for internal use).

* Garlic is a natural antiseptic, so a couple of capsules daily can aid healing.

You can naturally treat bacterial vaginosis with a treatment which is completely guaranteed to get rid of the condition within 3 days. Not only that, you can learn how to eradicate some of the most unpleasant symptoms within minutes. Providing you are prepared to invest a little time and effort in learning just how to treat yourself, you will learn strategies which will ensure that you have no repetition of BV. You can see full details of the remedy I successfully used at Bacterial Vaginosis Natural Treatment. It is available for immediate download, with no waiting and no expensive shipping costs.
