Try number one....

Occasionallly I will post new finds and all the items I am giving a try. Today is try number one. I will be trying the below following my latest bought of BV:

repHresh

every day this week a shot of wheat grass. Wheat grass has great detox properties and I used to take it years ago when working out. I saw great results in my skin, health, matobolism, and digestion.

Azo yeast, another great product that keeps the symptoms and discomfort of yeast infections at bay.

Tee Tree Oil, diluted with water applied with a cotton ball on the outside areas of the vagina.

RepHresh

In my research I have found mention that PH levels can be a cause of BV. Keeping your PH levels in balance could help or possibly solve your problem. I think that this might be the reason I have problems with BV. I have noticed that I get BV outbreaks during the end of my period when hormones and PH levels aren't at thier best. Products such as RepHresh have been designed to help get your PH levels in check. I will be trying RepHresh for the first time tonight since I am at the end of my menstural cycle and have a case of BV. I will report back my findings. In the mean time check out the product here, they also offer a pill, it's costly but might be another option. The pill taken daily is supposed to help control yest and bacteria levels in the vagina. I might give this a try on pay day since it runs about $32.00. As with this product and all I will report back my experiences.

Balance Activ - a new treatment for Bacterial Vaginosis

A great find on youtube! Very imformative, plus it gives options for treatment at home straight from a doctor.

What is BV?

First off BV is not a sexually transmitted diseas. To sum it up it's over growth of bad bacteria in the vagina that causes a fould oder, irretation, swelling, and itching. It can be mistaken for a yeast infection. Below is the best definition I found for BV from Wikipedia:

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginal infection. For grammatical reasons, some people prefer to call it vaginal bacteriosis[citation needed]. It is not generally considered to be a sexually transmitted infection[1] (see causes below). BV is caused by an imbalance of naturally occurring bacterial flora, and should not be confused with yeast infection (candidiasis), or infection with Trichomonas vaginalis (trichomoniasis) which are not caused by bacteria.

Hemena is a bacterial infection of the vagina. It's named after a bacterial build up on the hymen. Not to be confused with yeast infections, this disease can only occur in women. It's an unhealthy amount of bacteria infecting the membrane.

Now that you know what BV I ask you to continue to educate yourself and help others. Use this blog to do just that, spread the word!
