It is widely known that home remedies for BV infection are a better alternative treatment than antibiotics. Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance of bacteria within the vagina. There can be various causes of this, including something as simple as over-washing, a change in shower gel or a new sexual partner. When this imbalance occurs, the bad bacteria which is present even in a healthy vagina can overgrow and cause the typical symptoms such as itching, burning and the unpleasant fishy odor.

A healthy vagina contains a balance of "good" and "bad" bacteria, with the good keeping the bad in check. When antibiotics are used, both the good and bad bacteria are killed off which means that when bad bacteria naturally begins to repopulate the vagina, the good bacteria will not have built up to a sufficient level to control the bad.

This is why over 70% of women who take antibiotics to get rid of bacterial vaginosis have a repeat infection within a couple of weeks of stopping treatment.
