Simply put, bacterial vaginosis is a mild vagina infection. Another name for it is Gardnerella. This is actually the most common bacterium that causes the discomfort, however there are also other bacteria that could contribute as well. Statistics show that 5% - 30% of women might have this illness but not all have the symptoms attached to it. As a result, many women don't even realize that they are harboring the infection. Luckily this is not a serious problem and in most cases natural cures are all that females need in order to get rid of it. Most women go to the doctor when they see that white discharge, as they are getting worried that they might have Candida or something similar. The doctor will take a sample of the discharge and will send it to the lab for further analysis. Another way to diagnose bacterial vaginosis is during the very common and routine pap tests. When it comes to treatment, there are two main options: medicine prescribed by the doctor if the situation is more serious, or by means of natural remedies when the discharge is not very strong. Many women actually chose the second, particularly if they don't go to the doctor and within a few weeks the disease disappears all by itself. However if you are very worried and your discharge is truly extreme, do not hesitate to consult a doctor. Sometimes there is more at hand than just Gardnerella and only a proper lab analysis will show what exactly you are dealing with. Some natural vaginosis treatments include: Wipe/wash your vagina properly to prevent spread of bacteria into the anus. Underwear should be made from pure cotton to allow air circulation. Synthetic undergarments should be avoided to prevent bacterial growth that thrives in warm and dark area of the body. Make sure that you keep your vagina clean and dry at all times, since bacteria also grow in moist and damp places. Wash your genitals in water with vinegar and salt. Apply a small amount of Tea Tree oil to your genitals. Apple cider vinegar is also effective. With just 2 cups of this great vinegar in your bath, you can get relief quickly.
