You can buy over the counter treatment for bacterial vaginosis from many outlets such as pharmacies, supermarkets and even over the internet. It can be very costly and as a former sufferer myself, my experience was that I found some treatments quite soothing but nothing seemed to actually shorten the timespan of an attack or help to actually eradicate it.

Bacterial vaginosis is a very common condition and affects many thousands of women, mainly of childbearing age. The symptoms include itching, buring, the urge to urinate, a white/gray discharge which has a very unpleasant fishy odor. One of the problems is a misunderstanding of bacterial vaginosis-by not understanding the nature of the condition, successful treatment becomes difficult. Very often,without actually realizing it, women are often prolonging attacks or making the condition worse.

Although it is often called an "infection" and is often referred to as such, bacterial vaginosis is really an inflammatory condition caused by an overgrowth of harmful bacteria. Under normal circumstances, there are two types of bacteria which co-habit the vagina-one is classed as a beneficial or "good" bacteria and the other can be harmful if it grows out of control. When something happens to upset the balance, the bad bacteria can grow quickly and the beneficial bacteria is unable to keep the bad bacteria under control. When this happens, the typical symptoms of bacterial vaginosis can occur. Overwashing and the use of perfumed products can both contribute to bacterial vaginosis which is ironic as many women do both of these things to mask the symptoms!

Sometimes doctors prescribe antibiotics or other over the counter treatment. These can make matters worse as they will kill off both the good and bad bacteria. Although in the short term, the symptoms might disappear, they are likely to return as soon as bacteria is naturally reintroduced into the vagina as there will be no good bacteria left to keep control.

This is why over 70% of women who take antibiotics for bacterial vaginosis will have a repeat attack within a few weeks.

The best way to get rid of this condition is to use a natural remedy which will quickly re-balance the ph levels within the vagina, thus restoring ideal conditions. Many people are surprised to learn that natural treatments can work faster than antibiotics or than over the counter treatment for bacterial vaginosis.
