The sad reality though is that most women recognize only too well the signs and symptoms of bacterial vaginitis and unfortunately, once it takes hold, it can become very difficult to eradicate. This is because most women and doctors approach treatment by just dealing with the symptoms, never really getting to the root cause and it is only by doing this that you can be sure of getting rid of BV completely.

Bacterial vaginitis is caused by an imbalance of bacteria within the vagina. Under normal circumstances, the beneficial bacteria within the vagina promote a mildly acidic, protective environment and this enables any bad bacteria to be swiftly dealt with. In some women, the mix of good and bad bacteria is so finely balanced that it takes very little to sway the balance and this means that sometimes harmful bacteria is allowed to flourish.

It is this bad bacteria which causes BV.

You can try the following home treatments for bacterial vaginitis which are intended to support the desired ecosystem of a healthy vagina:-

* Soak a tampon in live, natural yogurt and insert for an hour or so. This yogurt is rich in Lactobacilli, the same bacteria as that in a healthy vagina. This bacteria should quickly multiply within the vagina and begin to overwhelm the bad bacteria
* Tea tree oil pessaries can help to kill off the harmful bacteria within the vagina. Alternatively, add a few drops to a warm bath
* Cider vinegar is acidic in nature and can help to restore the correct pH level. Add a couple of cups to your bathwater on alternate nights to using tea tree oil

These simple home treatments for bacterial vaginitis can help to support healing. However, if you are a regular sufferer or your symptoms are quite severe, it is recommended that you take decisive action to eradicate the condition once and for all as if left untreated, BV can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility.
