Vaginal Infection - How To Avoid It

Useful tips to deter bacterial vaginosis

BV is created by an excess of harmful bacteria in the vagina.

The signs and symptoms are * Excessive grey or white vaginal discharge . * Unpleasant vaginal odour, most noticeable after sex. * Itching and irritation around the vagina. * Burning sensation during urination.

There is a cure. Doctors don't have it. They use antibiotics which only stop it for a while. It usually returns and so they just keep increasing the antibiotics. The real cure is a natural one which I reveal on my website.

Meanwhile to help prevent you getting bacterial vaginosis, I suggest the following:

* Do not douche * Keep the vaginal area dry and clean. Wash with clean water and dry thoroughly before and after sex. * Avoid tight fitting jeans. Wear panties that fit well and are made of breathable cotton. The material should be able to absorb moisture and allow air to circulate. Nylon underwear and tights are not good news.. * Wear loose fitting trousers and try to avoid wearing nylon pants and tights under tight trousers, especially at night. If possible, especially at night, wear no panties at all. * Always wipe from front to back after bowel movements. * Avoid scented toilet paper, deodorant tampons and other perfumed hygiene products. * Change tampons or pads frequently. * Reduce excess weight- it makes itching worse. * Avoid using washing powder with harsh chemicals which can seriously irritate your vagina * Don't use vaginal deodorants as they can irritate the mucous membranes. They can make your vagina dry and itchy and can cause allergic reaction. * Boost your immunity with healthy foods rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C and E, zinc and selenium.
