The symptoms are very unpleasant from a bacterial infection. Vaginosis symptoms can include a grey or yellow vaginal discharge, a strong fish smell, and a burning sensation when urinating. If you are experiencing these symptoms, make sure to see a doctor to get diagnosed.
The bacterial infection, vaginosis can often be confused with a yeast infection, or a sexually transmitted disease. BV is not a sexually transmitted disease but it is important to see a doctor to make sure. Once you have been diagnosed with BV you can go about solving the problem. Here are some home remedies that can help you get rid of your symptoms.
First, bathe regularly. Spend a little extra time on your genital area and make sure that you are properly cleaned. Your doctor might prescribe a cream or an ointment to help make sure that you are clean.
Next, avoid sugary foods and drinks. Bacteria lives off of sugar. Denying your body sugar is a great way to get rid of bacteria.
Instead, drink a lot of water and eat fruits and vegetables. Water will help cleanse your system, and fruits can help you restore your Ph levels. Yogurt is also a good food to ingest when trying to get rid of a bacterial infection.
If your symptoms are severe, you might want to take a sitz bath. Make a hot both then add a cup of vinegar. This remedy is found to relieve symptoms very quickly.
Also, make sure that you wear cotton panties. Other materials can cause excess sweating in the vaginal area. Cotton panties allow airflow and can help to dry any wetness.
