Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a bacterial disruption of our vaginal flora that frequently causes watery vaginal fluids with an unpleasant odor, vaginal itching, and irritation. Probiotics L. reuteri and L. rhamnosus taken orally help balance the vaginal ecosystem. These probiotics plus L. crispatus inserted vaginally recolonize the vagina with beneficial bacteria. Berberine acts as a powerful but gentle anti-microbial agent. Note on Zinc: Before ordering zinc, check if you are taking zinc in another supplement, like a multivitamin. To treat BV, I recommend taking 30mg zinc per day. Important systemic considerations to include in the treatment of BV are: Balance your blood sugar - sugar and alcohol feed BV Support your gut microbiome by taking a full-spectrum probiotic or fermented foods Ask your partner to brush their teeth before oral sex and clean hands and toys well before penetrative sex. Avoid cross-pollinating contact between your anus and vagina! Wash your vulva with just water and your hands - using soap can cause or exacerbate BV. Bleed onto an external catcher like a cloth pad or period underwear to help your body clear infection. If you struggle with BV, skip using a cup or disc for now, they can disrupt our flora. Avoid scented laundry detergent and change your undies daily, and anytime when they are sweaty or damp. Limit the amount of time you hang out in a wet bathing suit.
