Treating Vaginal Bacterial Infection Naturally At Home
One of the most common types of bacterial infection in the vagina is Bacterial Vaginosis. If your symptoms include itching and burning around the vagina, a foul, fishy smelling discharge which is gray or white in color and watery in consistency, then this is the most likely cause.
Fortunately, treating vaginal bacterial infection naturally is not difficult and providing your symptoms are quite mild, there are a number of simple steps you can take to get you on the road to recovery.
Vaginal bacterial infection is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacteria of the vagina. Under normal circumstances, “healthy” bacteria is present in large quantities and this maintains the health of the vagina. This type of bacteria flourishes in a mildly acidic environment. When something happens to tip the pH levels, causing the environment to become more alkaline in nature, harmful bacteria will grow, replacing the healthy bacteria and it is this which causes the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis.
Treating a vaginal bacterial infection naturally should begin by going back to basics and ensuring that you are not unwittingly causing the problem yourself by overwashing. By washing too frequently and using perfumed soaps, you are effectively stripping the vagina of the healthy bacteria and causing an imbalance which is supportive of harmful bacteria. Therefore, you should wash no more than twice daily and never use perfumed products. Also, if you are susceptible to this condition, never, ever douche.
Two everyday substances which are good for treating vaginal bacterial infection naturally are tea tree oil and probiotic yogurt.
Tea tree oil is a very powerful natural antibacterial substance. Try adding 10-12 drops to your bathwater and this will help to kill off the harmful bacteria. Tea tree oil pessaries are also available from some health food stores and these have been shown to be very useful and fast-acting, so are worth considering.
Live, probiotic yogurt is rich in healthy bacteria and by introducing it directly into the vagina on a tampon, you are actually replenishing the vagina’s depleted supplies. Although some natural remedies advocate eating a pot a day, some evidence to suggest that although this is beneficial for the digestion, it only has a limited effect on the vagina.
Prompt action is always a good idea if you have BV as although not dangerous in the early stages, if left untreated BV can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility. If you have had bacterial vaginitis for longer than three days, it is advisable to take positive action.

So what exactly is the best treatment for uterine fibroids? I have been suffering from the symptoms caused by uterine fibroids for some while now and would really like to find the best treatment to cure this problem! Are Hysterectomy or medications any good for treating fibroids?-
ANSWER:
My sister used to have uterine fibroids few years ago and she tried the medications, but they didn’t work very well for her.
