I started to have recurring cases of Bacterial Vaginosis over ten years ago.
Seven years after my first case of BV, I suffered through my very last BV infection.
After it cleared up, I vowed to get the problem under control by doing as much reading and proactive prevention as possible.
I haven't had another case of Bacterial Vaginosis for over three years now.
Once I was out of school I was able to read as much as I wanted about BV.
I've really learned quite a lot.
The most important realization I had in my reading was that I could and had to prevent myself from getting another BV infection ever again.
There are many methods and treatments one can use at home to naturally get relief from Bacterial Vaginosis.
I had to make a few lifestyle changes myself in order to get the permanent relief I wanted.
To start, I began eating right.
No more fast food, no more sugary candy, no more soda, no more caffeine, and no more alcohol (though I do have a drink occasionally).
In giving my body the diet it needs, my immune system is now able to fight off infections before they can flare up into dramatic and embarrassing conditions.
The diet of my college days was stressing my body; my new diet helps my body thrive naturally.
With my old diet, I felt tired and had constant battles with Bacterial Vaginosis; my new diet keeps me awake during the day and healthy throughout the year.
The second lifestyle change I made was to make sure I was getting enough sleep.
Without proper rest, the body has a hard time healing.
Most of the damage the body takes during the day is healed at night.
The immune system functions far better with the proper amount of quality sleep.
So rather than staying up all night working on projects, I go to bed before midnight to make sure I get my full eight hours of sleep.
I've been much healthier, having only a couple of colds within the past few years; most importantly, I've had no more bouts with BV.
You need to find a solution for yourself.
Every body is unique.
We each live differently and have different patterns of behavior.
Find the patterns that work against you and eliminate them.
Stick to healthy, positive behaviors, and you can live free of Bacterial Vaginosis!
