Always get diagnosed by a doctor first if you believe that you have bacterial vaginosis. Many women mistake it entirely for something else, and end up buying treatment for it. Treating the wrong condition can actually make it worse and cause more health complications.
If you do know for sure that you have bacterial vaginosis, there is a chance that it will go away on its own within a few days. So being patient in the beginning could mean not having to get any treatment at all. It goes away when the bacteria lactobacilli returns to its normal levels. This is ultimately the objective when curing the condition, to achieve the healthy balance of bacteria that is missing.
Antibiotics are the popular way to treat bacterial vaginosis, but the results are mixed at best. One out of every three women who take them as a treatment end up getting a recurring condition. Antibiotics are not healthy for the body because they kill both good and bad bacteria. While they have been effective for some cases of bacteria vaginosis, they have only made the condition worse in others.
