Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)

Causes for Bacterial Vaginosis

Multiple Sexual Partners

The single most prime cause is having multiple sexual partners. It is often found that the moment when a woman engages in sexual activity with a new partner, the bacterial environment around her vagina changes.

In most times, conflict arises because of exchange of bodily fluids occur and how suddenly alarm responses from cells around are raised which subsequently communicate with their bacterial cover, thus raising signals of either stand and fight, or lay down and comply.

Masturbation

using external devices with gels and lubricants: Of late cases have seemed to increase where girls with no sexual partners have often complained of puss like smelly discharge from their vagina.

Investigation later revealed that they are in the habit of using external objects with gel or lubricants covered, to be inserted into the vaginal opening. Depending on the gels/lubricants and their chemical characteristics, such habits often impact the bacterial environment around the vagina, thus causing extreme reactions ranging from severe allergies to Bacterial Vaginosis.

Diagnostic Considerations

Most times, patients notice a smelly puss like discharge from their Vagina often frequented by itching and burning sensation.

At times itching can be too burdensome to tolerate. Clinically, the diagnosis is made if the pH of Vaginal fluid is >4.5, and by examining the Vaginal discharge.

In any case, the disease is not something that can be tolerated or be lived with. For at times the smell emanating from the discharge can be so putrid that it could make the person socially unwantable

Prescription drugs for BV

Things not to do when on Medication

Avoid Alcohol: Women who suffer from BV, should abstain from Alcohol totally. For Alcohol has been known to interfere with all of the medication, thus aggravating the patient’s condition.

Do not smoke, smoking has been found to increase nicotine content in the blood which will directly impact the bacterial environment thus leading to more itching and burning.

Avoid touching: Avoid touching the Vagina and control frequent urges to itches. Especially if you are in working environment, for this would lead to further aggravation of the region due to scratches from finger nails and cross infections that would cause more worsening of the region leading to emanation of foul smell.

Avoid Sex: This would probably hurt, but abstinence is key when it comes to getting rid of infections such as these. For every indulgence will only gravitate the patient higher up to the forbidden zone of STD’s in the region of Gonorrhea and Syphilis.

What happens when you don’t treat BV

It is imperative to understand that Sexually transmitted diseases are not something that can be hid using a bushel. For the pain and the agony caused by the disease will aggravate with every passing day so much so that slope will always be positive and ever increasing when it comes to complications and issues from the disease.

The most common outcome for not treating would be the onset of other severe STDs in the leagues of Syphilis and Gonorrhea.

When these STDs sets in, the chances of a cure is remote and more so often impossible. One major worry from STDs is the diseases ability to cause blindness. Now, what has life got to live when the light of the body departs? In other words, your vision is the single source through which joy abounds, so preserve and protect it.

Can you Prevent Bacterial Vaginosis

Of course everything and anything can be prevented with the use of the mind given by the Creator. But apparently the problem today is that not many realize that they have a mind and that not many use it well.

So, coming back to the question, can you prevent BV, yes, and the way is, Respect your Body, for your Body is the temple of the Almighty. And more so, it is the only vehicle through which you see the world and the world sees you, and what is more ironic is the fact that you only have one. In other words, Sex is joyful if you have it with one truthful partner. But today with the age of sexual revolution, everything has become okay.

Now when everything has become okay, so doth the suffering from diseases too. Today you make the choice, whether you wish to cross those forbidden boundaries and suffer eternally with puss, smelly fluid discharge, uncontrollable urge to scratch and itch, with limitless prescription pills, or to live a life of Abundance and freedom, for nothing is more precious than Freedom from Sickness.

For what in the world can a body do that has to frequently engage in using its hands to quench the unquenchable desire to scratch.
