About Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)


What is bacterial vaginosis (BV)?

A healthy vagina normally has a balance consisting of “good” and “bad” bacteria. The “good” bacteria normally outnumber the “bad” bacteria. In an unhealthy vagina however, the “bad” bacteria begin to increase in number upsetting the balance within the vagina, this is when bacterial vaginosis starts to develop.


Cause and contributors

• New or multiple sex partners
• Not using condoms
• Douching
• Antibiotics
• Spermicides
• Vaginal hygiene products
• Detergents
• Fabric softeners
• IntraUterine Device (IUD) for birth control
• Presence of a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) could increase risk of BV up to 64%
• Stress
• Menstruation
• Pregnancy (about 10% to 30% of pregnant women develop BV)
• Birth control pills


Symptoms

• A foul or fishy odor (smell is worse after sex)
• Milky white or gray vaginal discharge (non-common)
• Itching around the vagina
• Burning pain after urination (not as common)
• Irritation around the vagina

(NOTE: Some women with BV have no symptoms. If you suspect something may be wrong and none of the above symptoms are present, consult a medical professional.)


Bacterial vaginosis and pregnancy

Any and all pregnant women should be tested and treated but make sure you speak with your doctor about what is best for you. If not treated bacterial vaginosis may cause premature delivery and low weight babies usually less than five pounds. If not treated bacterial vaginosis may cause more serious symptoms and can lead to a serious condition called Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) occurs when bacteria from the vagina travels up to the reproductive organs and may result in infertility.


Treatment

There are two ways to treat BV.
Bacterial vaginosis can be treated with antibiotics prescribed by a medical professional. Either metronidazole (met-roh-NIH-duh-zohl) or clindamycin (klin-duh-MY-sin).

(NOTE: Male sex partners do not need to be treated. However, BV may be spread to female sex partners. If your current partner is female speak with her about treatment.)

Initial success rate for prescribed medication is about 5 out of 6 women. However, there is about a 30% chance that BV will reoccur within 4 to 6 months. This brings the actual success rate to about 50% to 65%.


Here are some common figures one can expect.

• A doctor visit may cost up to $100
• MetroCream .75% (1) 45gm tube $160.86
• Cleocin 150mg 30 capsules $92.34

There are also herbal and home remedy alternatives for treating BV. Many women have taken this approach over the antibiotics for various reasons. Here is a list of some of the advantages.

• Treatment may cost as little as $5.
• Remedies are natural.
• Easy to prepare with household items.
• Long lasting remedy (never deal with bacterial vaginosis again)

If you are interested in a drug free natural approach that works, I recommend (BVgone4ever.cn.to). It is a 40 page downloadable e-Book containing a wealth of the best home remedies around for people who suffer from this condition. It also includes step by step instructions detailing what one must do to maintain a healthy BV free vagina for the rest of your life.

Conclusion

Bacterial vaginosis is something no woman should ignore. It is a serious condition that should be looked into and dealt with immediately. Weather it is with prescription drugs or with the natural home remedy approach, no women should be unprepared when facing Bacterial Vaginosis.

  4. The herpes simplex virus is a contagious virus 
    that can be  
    passed from person to person through direct 
    contact. 
    Children will often contract HSV-1 from early 
    contact with 
    an infected adult. They then carry the virus with 
    them for 
    the rest of their life. 
    Infection with HSV-1 can happen from general 
    interactions 
    such as eating from the same utensils, sharing 
    lip balm, or 
    kissing. The virus spreads more quickly when an 
    infected 
    person is experiencing an outbreak. Additionally, 
    it is 
    possible to get genital herpes from HSV-1 if the 
    individual 
    has had cold sores and performed sexual 
    activities during 
    that time. 
    HSV-2 is contracted through forms of sexual 
    contact with a 
    person who has HSV-2. It is estimated that  around 20  
    percent of sexually active adults within the 
    United States 
    have been infected with HSV-2, according to the 
    American 
    Academy of Dermatology (AAD). ( AAD ) While 
    HSV-2 
    infections are spread by coming into contact 
    with a herpes 
    sore, the AAD reports that most people get 
    HSV-1 from an 
    infected person who is asymptomatic, or does 
    not have 
    sores. 
    having multiple sex partners 
    being female 
    having another sexually transmitted infection 
    (STI) 
    having a weakened immune system  TREATMENT
