How to Treat Bacterial Vaginitis Naturally

There are two possible ways to treat bacterial vaginitis. One path is a doctor, and the other involves natural or holistic medicine plans. A doctor will prescribe medicine one of two ways, oral or topical. Both have the same efficiency rate, but most women prefer the oral medication due to comfort reasons.

There are however a few problems with prescription medicine (antibiotics). There are some alarming side effects and the chances of having another outbreak of bv are high (65% in fact). Natural or home treatment remedies are much safer and are largely becoming the best way to treat bacterial vaginitis for several reasons. But before I talk about natural remedies, I’m going to discuss a few side effects for prescription medicines.

Oral:

- Vomiting
- Nausea
- Unpleasant, metallic-taste in the mouth (common with metronidazole and tinidazole).
- Diarrhea

Topical:

- Linked to weakening latex contraceptives, could lead to unwanted pregnancy or STDs.
- Most common side effect is a yeast infection after using topical creams to treat bacterial vaginitis.
