What is the bacterial vaginosis?

2009-08-24T08:31:00.000-07:00

BV is a type of vaginal infection that any woman can get. Chances are you have heard more about yeast infections than BV, but BV (not yeast) is the most common type of vaginal infection in women of childbearing age. BV is often confused with yeast infections - they are not the same thing and they require different types of treatment. BV is linked to normal bacteria (germs) in the vagina getting out of balance. All women have mostly "good" and some "harmful" bacteria present in their vaginas. When harmful bacteria in the vagina increase, or overgrow, BV can develop. Yeast infections are caused by the yeast Candida, which also overgrows when the normal balance of the vagina becomes disturbed.
Bacterial vaginosis is not a STD. It is not passed by sex. It is very embarrassing and disturbing but it is not dangerous. If you notice an unusual discharge, you should have it checked so you can rule out chlamydia and gonorrhea which are serious infections.
The most common treatment for bacterial vaginosis is antibiotics. Usually, one course of treatment is successful. A small percentage of women will experience recurrent symptoms within a month. Consequently, a second course of antibiotics will be prescribed.
As women, we know that taking antibiotics to cure this problem will almost absolutely cause another problem, yeast infection. This is why more and more women are seeking natural, herbal remedies for this problem. With the antibiotics, you are trading one problem for another, more difficult, problem.

Bacterial Vaginosis and yogurt,.

2009-08-22T04:46:00.000-07:00

Bacterial Vaginosis is no picnic and its symptoms include an unpleasant, fishy odor as well as itching, burning and maybe even a green or yellow discharge.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is most common cause of vaginal discharge in women of childbearing age. It's caused when the bacteria normally found in the vagina (Lactobacillus) are overgrown by others (e.g. Gardnerella vaginalis), which are normally found in smaller numbers. Some women with BV don't have any symptoms at all - you may only discover that you have BV after a routine smear test.

You can try yogurt to help Bacterial Vaginosis. I’m talking about a special kind of yogurt, the plain, unpasteurized kind that you obtain from the health food store.

You will need to find plain yogurt that contains live lactobacillus acidophilus, an active culture which is typically found at health food stores and even some grocery stores. You see, lactobacillus will not only stop the growth of harmful bacteria, but will also help you restore your balance of healthy vaginal bacteria.

To use this remedy to cure your Bacterial Vaginosis, you have two options. You can either eat at least 8 ounces of plain yogurt that contains lactobacillus acidophilus as part of a healthy diet or (if you are not pregnant and want to experience results even faster), you can put the yogurt directly inside your vagina at bedtime. This can be done by applying it directly into your vagina using an applicator or a small spoon. Make sure that you wear a non-deodorized pad to avoid soiling your underpants. If this sounds too messy, you can also insert the lactobacilli, which are available in a tablet or gelatin capsule, directly into your vagina. The key is to do this for 7 whole days.

Antibiotics cause vaginal infections .

2009-08-21T09:37:00.000-07:00

Antibiotics. If you are taking antibiotics for another condition and notice vaginal itching, it could be a yeast infection. Antibiotics kill bacteria — which is great news if you have pneumonia but not so good if the antibiotics also kill off the beneficial bacteria that live in your body. When this type of overkill occurs, it can clear the way for yeast to overgrow and for a yeast infection to develop. A yeast infection will not respond to antibiotics, because antibiotics can’t kill yeast.

If this balance is disturbed -- as it can be by the use of antibiotics -- yeast and pathogenic ("bad") bacteria can establish a foothold. The result is an infection with associated itching and burning. A discharge may occur as well.

If you have never experienced these symptoms before, it is important to see your gynecologist first for a proper diagnosis. Many women assume all itching and burning is due to a yeast infection, so they use over-the-counter yeast creams. Not all vaginal itching is yeast, however, and over-the-counter creams are ineffective against bacterial infections. If you have used one of these medications and your symptoms have not gone away -- or if they return -- then a doctor's visit is necessary. Discharges with a fishy odor are not characteristic of yeast, and these must be evaluated a
nd treated by a doctor.

In the future, eating extra yogurt (with active cultures) or taking acidophilus while you are on antibiotics for another infection may help stave off this unpleasant vaginal itching and burning.

Home Remedies for vaginal itching and irritation. 1ª

2009-08-20T08:06:00.000-07:00

Vaginal itching can be caused by many different reasons. The most common of them all is infection specifically infection that is caused by the fungus candida albicans. In candida infection, one of its cardinal symptoms is vaginal itching.

The home remedies and solutions for vaginal itching, that are caused by the fungus candida albicans are:

1- Home remedies to stop vaginal itching through eliminating candida infection can be done through dabbing apple cider vinegar mixed with garlic and water.

This method is one of the best home remedies to stop vaginal itching as well as its infectious source.

2- To stop vaginal itching, one tip is to keep the area as cool as possible. Therefore it makes sense to wear only cotton underwear as this is a more breathable fabric than synthetics which can actually promote bacterial vaginosis.

3- Another tip is to place a damp flannel in the freezer for a few minutes and then carefully place it on the vaginal area. Alternatively, wrap a damp flannel in an ice pack and place it between the legs. Indeed, anything cold will be helpful at relieving irritation.

4- Add a couple of cups of cider vinegar to a cool bath and sit in it for a few minutes. The acidic nature of the vinegar can help to neutralize the alkaline conditions which cause vaginal itching.

5- One excellent remedy is to make use of probiotic yogurt. This type of yogurt contains live bacteria which are identical to the healthy bacteria which normally flourishes in the vagina and is necessary to maintain a healthy pH level. The best way to use it is to insert a tampon which has been soaked in the yogurt and leave it in place for a couple of hours.

6- Another way of using home remedies for bacterial vaginosis is by making use of tea tree oil. This is one of the most powerful natural antibacterial substances known and it can be used in two ways.

What is the Itching or vaginal irritation?

2009-08-19T13:36:00.000-07:00

Itching or irritation anywhere on the body can cause discomfort. But when it occurs in an area as sensitive as the vagina, it can be especially uncomfortable. Most genital itching and irritation isn't a major concern. But because they can be symptoms of an infection, is necessary to take certain measurements of prevention .

What causes vaginal itching, burning, and irritation?
There are several common causes of vaginal itching, burning, and irritation, including:

Bacterial vaginosis. It's normal to have a healthy mix of bacteria in the vagina. But the wrong bacteria growing there can lead to an infection. Besides itching, other symptoms that come with bacterial vaginosis are inflammation, burning, discharge, and a fishy-smelling odor.

Sexually transmitted disease (STDs). Chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, trichomoniasis, and gonorrhea all can cause vaginal itching and irritation and other symptoms.

Yeast infection (vaginal candidiasis). About three out of every four women will develop a yeast infection at some point in their lives. Yeast infections occur when the yeast, candida, grows excessively in the vagina and vulva. Pregnancy, intercourse, antibiotics, and a weakened immune system can all make women more likely to get a yeast infection. In addition to irritation, a yeast infection will produce a thick, white, cheesy discharge.

Menopause. The drop in estrogen production that occurs at the end of a woman's reproductive years can cause the vaginal walls to thin and dry out. This can lead to itching and irritation. Thinning of the vaginal walls is also a problem in some women who breastfeed.

Chemical irritants. A number of chemical substances, including creams, douches, condoms, contraceptive foams, detergents, soaps, scented toilet paper, and fabric softeners can irritate the vagina.

Lichen sclerosus. This is a rare condition that causes thin white patches to form on the skin, especially around the vulva. The patches can permanently scar the vaginal area. Postmenopausal women are most likely to develop this condition.
