Bacterial Vaginosis can be a nuisance and can cause a lot of problems for women. They not only cause discomfort but also ruin the quality of your life if not treated effectively. It is therefore important to understand what exactly is BV and then proceed further to rid this condition in an effective manner.

How is BV caused?

Good and bad bacteria coexist naturally in a vagina. The good bacteria keep control of the bad bacteria hence protecting the vagina from any type of infection. But due to various reasons, there can be imbalance in the bacterial flora in the vagina. The common reasons may include hormonal changes (especially in pregnant women), change in sexual partners or multiple sexual partners, or may be as simple as change in washing detergent.

This results into Bacterial Vaginosis which is a very unpleasant condition which involves symptoms such as fish-like smelly vaginal discharge, itching and irritation in and around the vaginal area, burning sensation while urinating. The most prominent symptom out of these is the strong fishy odor that can be very repelling and discomforting.

Common treatments for BV

Women suffering from BV either visit the doctor who prescribe them with some antibiotics that may be in the form of oral supplements or creams and gels that need to be applied in the vagina. Sometimes even suppository medication is administered to treat BV. There are quite a few over the counter medications that can be a preference to most women.

These medications are usually effective and treat Bacterial Vaginosis in few days. However, there are high chances of reoccurrence of BV as theses prescribed antibiotics and other over the counter medications tends to kill all the bacteria (good as well as bad) in the vagina. Therefore when the bacteria repopulate in the vagina, it is very likely that the bad bacteria can easily outnumber the good ones as there is no medication that prevents them from multiplying.

Hence, the BV cycle begins all over again. That’s the reason why many women suffer from chronic BV.
