Bacterial Vaginosis

[CLOWN TICKLE]

My wife is constantly suffering outbreaks of this, the tablets given make her really ill and give little relief b4 the problem returns, does any one no of any natural remedies

[kind lady]

Could she be diabetic?

The only thing i can suggest is Natural Yoghurt, internal and external It helps with the bacteria, if your wife is not too squeemish apply a tea spoon full to a sanitary towel and apply, this soothes and cools the area and helps break down bacteria!

'Sounds like Thrush?

If it is, you an get loads of different types of creams rather than tablets to soothe and clear it up. Applied either on a tampon and inserted or just with her hands.

It works almost immediatey, but may need re-applying more than once during the day and once before bed.

it has to be treated with anti-biotics from the doc. to stop it reoccuring she should only wear coton undies, never wear any for bed at all or pajamas either (lucky for you), don't take hot baths and only bathe in water-no bubble bath etc and don't wash with anything other than a plane sponge/wash cloth, again now shower gel, soap etc even the specially designed stuff.

As it's bacterial, she would presumbably need antibiotics, but this would in any case make her more disposed to thrush. She may be prone to 2 conditions, therefore. If her doctor prescribes antibiotics, she could ask for a prescription for some thrush pessaries/creams to take at the same time, to ward off the dreaded thrush. Make sure you get yourself treated if she does have thrush, or you'll be passing it back and forth like a ping-pong ball. If she has vaginosis of whatever type, you should not pressure her to have sex, as it'll hurt her very much. Not saying you are doing, but just so you know!

Incidentally, she must finish the whole course of antibiotics if she is going to get rid of any bacterial condition.

I've just had this, and it cleared completely in seven days. My GP prescribed a set of five syringes, filled with an antibacterial gel, which I had to use internally at bedtime. I've saved the syringes, and after sterilising them I'm now using them to squirt plain yogurt in. I'm also taking acidophilus tablets, from Holland and Barrett. The yogurt leaks the next day, so panty-liners are a good idea.
