There are various home remedies for vaginal bacterial infection which can be tried to help you get rid of this very unpleasant condition. Most women don’t need help spotting the signs as most will suffer from repeated attacks. Is this you?

I probably don’t need to tell you the symptoms as you are probably well aware of them but for the minority of you who <I>haven’t</i> had an attack before but just suspect you may have an infection, look out for:

* A watery white or gray vaginal discharge
* Itching and burning around the vagina
* A foul smelling fishy odor from the vagina

It’s actually very rare for a women to just have an isolated outbreak of this condition as the reason for a vaginal bacterial infection is an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacteria within the vagina. The problem is that unless you treat the root cause of the imbalance, it will happen repeatedly. Some find that they have an outbreak of this condition every couple of months or so and nothing they try, including antibiotics and over the counter meds seem to have an impact, except to temporarily relieve the symptoms.

It can be very difficult to determine the exact cause of a vaginal bacterial infection as there can be many reasons why it occurs. Over zealous hygiene, using harsh perfumed products around the vagina, antibiotic treatment and a new sexual partner are just a few common causes. Others include eating a poor diet, having a long menstrual period and even wearing synthetic panties which trap moisture and heat-both ideal for the growth of harmful bacteria.

Home remedies for vaginal bacterial infection include strategies to strengthen the immune system, to introduce high levels of “good” bacteria into the vagina and to quickly eliminate the harmful bacteria and bring about a healthy balance in the vagina. There are three excellent remedies which you can try.

1. Tea Tree Oil

This very powerful, natural antibacterial oil has many uses and adding a few drops to a bath can help to eliminate harmful vaginal bacteria. You can also buy ready-made pessaries in some health food stores which are perfect for treating this condition.

2. Probiotic Yogurt

The beneficial bacteria contained in probiotic yogurt can help replenish the vagina’s depleted supplies. Probiotics (whether in tablet form or in foodstuffs) feature highly in many home remedies for vaginal bacterial infection. The best way too introduce it is to soak a tampon in the yogurt and insert it into the vagina for an hour or two.

3. Cider Vinegar

The slightly acidic nature of cider vinegar helps to restore the healthy pH level of the vagina. Add a couple of cups to a bath and this can help get you on the right track.

Prompt action is always a good idea if you have a bacterial vaginal infection as although not dangerous in the early stages, if left untreated this condition can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility.
