When considering bacterial vaginosis treatments you have two options to choose from, you can go with the antibiotics your doctor has prescribed or you can go with a more natural choice and use home remedies. In this article I am going to review these two options so you can be better informed when making your choice.

Having visited your doctor and confirmed that you do in fact have BV the first treatment option you are going to be presented with is the use of antibiotics. The use of antibiotics will clear up your vaginosis. The problem with the use of these medications is that they drastically increase the chance of the BV occurring again, and again and so on. The reason for this is that vaginosis occurs when you have an imbalance of bacteria in your vagina, the bad has taken over the good. Antibiotics kill off the bad resolving the problem, but it also kills off the good. Your vagina is now bacteria free, this allows the bad bacteria to once again overgrow and take over the good resulting in another occurrence.

The second option is the use of natural home remedies. These can come in the form of supplements like garlic and goldenseal, or having a 20 minute bath in a water and apple cider vinegar mix or eating up to 5 cups of yogurt a day along with many other options. These natural remedies work to restore you body’s natural bacterial balance thus getting rid of the BV. Once you have cured your BV these natural remedies continue to work towards keeping the balance long term, thus avoiding the possibility of a relapse.

As you can see both options will eradicate the immediate symptoms associated with BV, but when determining which bacterial vaginosis treatments are going to work best one should look not only at the short term resolution but at the long term permanent eradication of it in your life. Natural remedies are the only options that look towards the future of keeping you BV free.
