Vaginosis
Junior Member

The vagina has its own “ecosystem” in which there are finely balanced levels of bacteria. To a certain extent, this is self-managed, with the good, beneficial bacteria keeping the “bad” bacteria in check. When something happens to upset this balance, the bad bacteria grows extremely quickly and becomes out of control. This causes inflammation, burning,soreness and symptoms of cystitis plus the typical signs of bacterial vaginosis, including the grey watery discharge and the terrible smell.

Antibiotics work to kill off bacteria. Unfortunately they cannot distinguish between the different types if bacteria in the vagina and as a result, all bacteria is killed off. This means that once “bad” bacteria is reintroduced, as will be the case naturally, there is no defense as the good bacteria has gone. The whole cycle then begins again and this is the reason why most women will get repeat attacks.

A visit to the doctor will very often prompt a prescription for antibiotics. However, recent studies have shown that in excess of 70% of women taking antibiotics to get rid of bacterial vaginosis will have a repeat attack within a month or so.

This statistic alone often prompts women to look at natural treatment of bacterial vaginosis and the good news is that they do work!
