An Overview of Bacterial

Vaginosis

Introduction

Bacterial Vaginosis or BV for short is a very common and uncomfortable

condition that causes the vaginal area to smell and itch. It is caused by an

overgrowth of Bacterial and fungus in vaginal area and it can make you feel

very unclean.

Furthermore, BV is a very persistent condition that is difficult to cure FOR

GOOD. Any type of affliction that is described by a word that has “osis” or

“itis” at the end usually implies that the condition is chronic and that

inflammation is present.

BV certainly fits that description as it is so stubborn and seems to never go

away once you get it. Even after many rounds of antibiotics it seems that

the infection lingers, waiting to rear its ugly head, and ruins everything

from your underwear to sex with your husband to your self-esteem.

It drives some women to tears because just as you think the infection has

finally left, you end up once again sniffing the familiar fishy odor or feeling

that discharge which means that you are once again at the mercy of

Vaginosis.

5

If you have suffered from BV like I have, then you know it never goes away.

You might get a prescription that provides relief for a day, a week, or two.

But after that, the whole vicious cycle just starts up all over again.

I call this the BV Medical Merry Go Round. It goes like this:

• You get the itching and burning

• You get the smell and the discharge.

• You try to treat it with douches and over the counter remedies.

• You powder and spray yourself to get rid of the smell.

• You can’t stand it anymore and go to the doctor.

• The doctor shrugs his shoulders, tells you it is chronic and writes you

a prescription for the antibiotic.

• You take the antibiotic. The BV goes away but now you have a yeast

infection and in some cases, a urinary tract infection to go with it.

• You are prescribed an anti-fungal or anti-yeast cream for the yeast

infection.

• Two weeks to three weeks later, the symptoms come back and you

start the whole cycle over again.

You probably picked up this book because you are fed up with the medical

system, but before we get any further into this subject you need to make

sure that you actually have BV.

There are sections in this book where you might think that I am an anti-

doctor. That is not exactly true. There are situations where lab tests and a

doctor can definitely perform some tests and diagnose you.

6

When it comes to BV, self-diagnosis can be a misleading thing! For one

thing not all BV is that innocent. It can be a symptom of having a sexually

transmitted disease. You need to make sure that is not the case, before you

decide to get rid of it by using natural methods only.

If you know that you only have a routine case of Vaginosis then by all

means treat it with this natural remedy.

So, before you decide that you actually have Bacterial Vaginosis there is a

few things you should know about the condition of Vaginosis in general.

Vaginosis itself is a disorder that describes the inflammation of the mucous

membranes that line the vagina.

There are two types – Bacterial or infectious.

Bacterial Vaginosis, which is the type of Vaginosis that this book deals with,

is caused by an overgrowth of Bacterial or fungus.

Infectious Vaginosis is caused sexual diseases with scary names such as the

trichomonas, gonococci or other sexually transmitted organisms.

The upshot is that you should NEVER ASSUME that what you have is

Bacterial Vaginosis. Get tested.

Make sure your doctor does the lab tests to make sure that your symptoms

are not caused by an underlying infectious disease. That infectious disease

must be treated or your Vaginosis will never go away.

You might even want to treat that underlying disease with complementary

natural therapies as well.

Most women seem to suffer from what I like to call ordinary Vaginosis. This

type of BV can easily be addressed, relieved and ultimately cured by

changes in diet and lifestyle changes. There are natural substances that

you can take immediately to relieve your suffering.

Ordinary Vaginosis is caused by a number of things including:

• The Bacterial or fungal infestation

• Vitamin B deficiencies

• Intestinal worms

• Irritation from excessive douching

• The overuse of deodorant sprays

• Tight non porous clothing

• Pregnancy

• Diabetes

• The overuse of antibiotics

• The use of oral contraceptives

There is also a third type of Vaginosis that should be mentioned here called

atrophic Vaginosis.

It is primarily found in post menopausal women and those whose ovaries

have been surgically removed. This disorder can result in adhesions and

make a person more vulnerable to infection.

Sometimes this type of Vaginosis is simply accepted and treated as a

normal part of aging or going through menopause.

This type of Vaginosis does need special treatment. It is characterized by a

thinner watery discharge and thin streaks of blood.

If you are near menopausal age or in menopause and you have this then

you should see your doctor to get a correct diagnosis.

8

If you do have Atrophic Vaginitis you will most likely be prescribed a

prescription estrogen ointment and extra doses of the vitamin B6. High

doses of folic acid can also help treat this condition.

For ordinary Bacterial Vaginosis, two different medicines are recommended

as treatment -- metronidazole or clindamycin.

Either can be used with non-pregnant or with pregnant women, but the

recommended dosages differ.

Statistics

Bacterial Vaginosis is practically a plague in this country. It often goes

undiagnosed and sometimes untreated as so many women are so

embarrassed by the condition they never get proper treatment for it.

Many women also believe that the BV is caused by sex and feel that there is

a stigma attached to the disorder. This comes from the fact that

contracting certain sexual diseases can cause it but usually this is not the

culprit.

Bacteria is the culprit. Unfortunately many doctors, including male doctors,

treat your vaginal disorder as being the result of promiscuity or too much

sex.

In the meantime, the reality is that you are not having any sex at all as you

are afraid of disgusting your lover with the odor.

BV is very common in women of reproductive age and as many as 16% of

pregnant women get it. That is because the walls of the vagina thin when

you get pregnant and become more vulnerable to infection.

African Americans are most likely to contract it. The breakdown in terms of

vulnerability to the condition is:

• 23% of African Americans

9

• 16% Hispanics

• 9% Whites

• 5% Asians.

According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control) 1 in 424 women contract

the Bacterial form of Vaginosis. There are also some conditions that put

you at extreme risk for BV.

These include:

• Lupus, SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythromatosis) - This disease of the

immune system puts you at an unusually high risk for contracting

infections.

• Women with Low Estrogen Levels – Low estrogen can cause the

vaginal lining to become more fragile and thin which in turn increases

the risk of Bacterial infection.

• Women with High Estrogen Levels – Women with high estrogen

levels, also known as estrogen dominance are also more vulnerable

to infection. Elevated estrogen levels are common in individuals that
