BV is one type of vaginitis, which are conditions that cause vaginal inflammation and infection. Others include vaginal yeast infections and trichomoniasis (a sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antibiotics are the standard therapy approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating BV. However, because long-term effective BV treatment is still a necessity for some women, many are considering other treatment approaches, including home remedies, especially when BV reoccurs after antibiotic treatment. This article provides five potential home remedies for bacterial vaginosis. We\u2019ll also share which are ineffective ways of treating BV to help you sort fact from fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-causes-bv\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What causes BV?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance in natural bacteria in the vagina. The dominant microorganism in a healthy vagina is the good bacteria, lactobacilli, which make up 90% to 95% of vaginal flora. Lactobacilli has anti-inflammatory properties and maintains a healthy vaginal microbiome by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria. An overgrowth of bad bacteria like Prevotella, Gardnerella, Atopobium vaginae, Mobiluncus, or Bacteroides can disrupt the vaginal microbiome. When the disrupted microbiome lacks lactobacilli\u2014good bacteria\u2014it can lead to BV.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BV has been linked to having multiple sexual partners or a new partner, not using condoms, douching, and HSV-2 (the virus that causes genital herpes). Symptoms of BV include gray, white, or green vaginal discharge, fish-like vaginal odor, an itchy vagina, and painful urination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recurrent bacterial vaginosis is a public health problem. \u201cRecurrent BV refers to three or more <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">confirmed <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BV infections in a year,\u201d says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/keciagaither.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kecia Gaither, MD<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, double board-certified OB\/GYN and director of Perinatal Services\/Maternal Fetal Medicine at NYC Health + Hospitals\/Lincoln in the Bronx. \u201cRecurrent BV could reflect reinfection, inadequate treatment, infection relapse, or antimicrobial resistance, to name a few.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ejog.org\/article\/S0301-2115(19)30602-5\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">high rate of BV recurrence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201480% rate of recurrence three months following effective treatment.

A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebertpub.com\/doi\/10.1089\/jwh.2010.2708\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">review published in 2011<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also established a 40% to 100% cure rate for bacterial vaginosis. The review concluded that boric acid was a safe and affordable treatment option for women who have chronic and recurrent symptoms of bacterial vaginosis, especially when standard treatment is ineffective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always check with your doctor before using boric acid vaginal suppositories, as more research is needed to validate its effectiveness. It\u2019s also important to note that boric acid should only be used as a vaginal suppository. It should not be taken orally nor be used while pregnant to avoid the risk of adverse side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-vitamin-c\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Vitamin C<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin C may help with recurrent bacterial vaginosis. It is used after the standard antibiotic treatment to maintain an acidic vaginal environment. BV-associated bacteria have very limited growth when the vaginal PH is acidic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/abstract\/10.1055\/s-0031-1296197\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">clinical trial published in 2011<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggested that vitamin C had a higher cure rate of 55.3% versus 25.7% for placebo (inactive medicine) in women treated for bacterial vaginosis. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jocmr.org\/index.php\/JOCMR\/article\/view\/1489\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that regular use of vitamin C vaginal tablets for six months reduced the recurrence rate of bacterial vaginosis. Both studies used slow-release silicone-coated vitamin C tablets, which are unavailable in the United States. However, experts recommend using enteric-coated vitamin C 250 milligram (mg) tablets\u2014the oral tablets that you find in the vitamin aisle, but you will use them vaginally. After your period stops, insert one tablet vaginally once a day for six days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-dietary-changes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Dietary changes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts have yet to understand how diet influences the vaginal microbiome. However, some studies have associated bacterial vaginosis with poor diets, such as those that include foods that raise blood glucose and foods that are high in fat, low in dietary fiber, and deficient in vitamins and micronutrients such as B-carotene and betaine. Dr. Geither agrees, saying that deficiencies in Vitamins A, C, D, and E, calcium, folate, and beta-carotene contribute to BV.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, a high intake of folate, vitamin E, and calcium has been associated with a reduced risk of bacterial vaginosis. Additionally, following the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietaryguidelines.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2021-03\/Dietary_Guidelines_for_Americans-2020-2025.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dietary Guidelines for Americans by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may also lower the risk of bacterial vaginosis\u2014by helping you incorporate more vitamins and nutrients into your diet and limiting unhealthy foods. The USDA guidelines recommend following a healthy dietary pattern that includes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat dairy products, protein foods, and healthy oils from seafood and nuts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4-probiotics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Probiotics\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Probiotics<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> containing lactobacillus may help reduce the recurrence of bacterial vaginosis. Lactobacillus can kill or inhibit some microorganisms involved in bacterial vaginosis. Some studies suggest that vaginal probiotics (inserted directly into the vagina), administered after antibiotic therapy, reduce the risk of bacterial vaginosis recurrence. However, there is a need for more conclusive evidence to support the use of commercially available probiotics. You should always discuss this with your healthcare provider and get their approval before using any such products. Oral probiotics found in foods and probiotic supplements may also help reinstate normal vaginal flora by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria such as lactobacillus; however, the mechanism of action is not fully understood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b><b>Probiotics 101: What are they?

This is based on the fact that apple cider vinegar contains acidic substances (including acetic acid and citric acid) and may keep the vagina\u2019s environs acidic\u2014thus, making it uninhabitable for pathogens responsible for bacterial vaginosis. However, there is a lack of sufficient evidence to support these submissions, as the effects of apple cider vinegar on bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis have not been studied.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b><b>8 health benefits of apple cider vinegar<\/b><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-tea-tree-oil\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.

It has been linked to an increased risk of bacterial vaginosis, as it increases BV-associated bacteria. Some studies suggest that douching depletes lactobacilli. Douching is strictly not recommended because of associated health complications\u2014it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, fertility problems, and increased risk of sexually transmitted infections or sexually transmitted diseases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-treat-bv-when-natural-remedies-dont-work\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to treat BV when natural remedies don\u2019t work<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antibiotics<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are the standard treatment for bacterial vaginosis.
