10 Home Remedies For BV
Home Remedy #10: Avoid Using Harsh Personal Care Products
You need to take precautions when purchasing or using personal care products such as soap, creams, and deodorant sprays. These products, although useful in maintaining your personal hygiene and enhancing your aesthetic appearance, can have damaging effects on the vagina.
The soaps and creams that are readily available on the market often contain some preservatives and other chemical constituents that might be too harsh on the vagina. These substances might kill some of the bacteria on your body and vagina, and thereby tilt the balance between the good and the harmful bacteria. Overgrowth of the harmful bacteria will promote the onset of BV. It is very important to understand the composition of any new personal care product before trying it out, especially around the vagina.
