If you are suffering from a vaginal bacteria infection and have symptoms which include itching and burning around the affected area, a gray or white watery discharge and a fishy smelling vagina odor, it highly likely that you have the common condition known as bacterial vaginosis.

Although not dangerous, if left untreated for a protracted length of time, bacterial vaginosis can result in pelvic inflammatory disease or even infertility. Prompt treatment for vaginal bacteria infection is therefore always advisable and there are 3 easy remedies for BV which will help get you started.

Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacteria within the vagina. Very often there is no obvious cause, but what happens is that the potentially harmful bacteria grows explosively and the beneficial bacteria cannot exercise its normal control. This causes the typical symptoms of BV. Something very simple could have set it off, such as over-washing, a change of washing powder, douching, a change of sexual partner or even just being "under the weather" and the only surefire way to ensure that the condition is dealt with once and for all is by using natural methods to treat the underlying causes. Both antibiotics and over the counter medicines give symptomatic treatment for a vaginal bacterial infection but the majority of women find that they have repeated flare-ups as whatever started the outbreak in the first place is still there.

Home remedies for BV can work by strengthening and enhancing the body's own ability to fight the harmgul bacteria and help to rebalance the pH levels. Three popular ones are tea tree oil, probiotic yogurt and cider vinegar.

1. 10-12 drops of tea tree oil can be added to a shallow bath or alternatively, consider using pessaries which are available from health food stores and which can go directly to the source of the problem.

2. Probiotic yogurt contains beneficial bacteria and this can both strengthen and enhance the vagina's depleted supplies. Introduce this directly to the vagina via a tampon.

3. Cider vinegar is naturally acidic and this will help restore balance within the vagina, as a vaginal bacteria infection will have created an undesirable alkaline environment.
