Belonging to kingdom monera, bacterium is one of the simplest organisms.
They do not even have a proper nucleus in their cell, which happens to be the brain of each cell.
But this least modified unicellular organism can prove to be very effective when it comes to mutually co existing with any other organism.
They occur naturally in the vagina of a woman.
They help to maintain the perfect acidic environment required to check the growth of fungi in the vagina.
Due to any reason if the number of bacteria in the vagina increases then the balance get disturbed and BV (bacterial vaginosis) results in the vagina of a woman.
If you are suffering from BV repeatedly then you need to get rid of it permanently by avoiding those circumstances which are leading to this condition.
Avoid wearing tight clothes Stop wearing those clothes which are tight in the regions of groin.
Such clothes limit circulation of air in and around the vagina.
Air circulation in the vagina allows the cells and tissues of the vaginal walls to breathe.
If this air circulation is stopped it leads to unnecessary retention of moisture by the vagina and also the region gets warmed up.
A warm and moisture holding surface is perfect for the infection to thrive.
So ensure your dress code is not posing a threat.
Wear cotton and loose fabric before you go to sleep.
Replace junk food items with fruits and vegetables You need to incorporate more vegetables and fruits in your diet.
So you need to cut down on your favorite junk food items.
Citrus fruits are good sources of vitamin C which have anti infection properties.
They help in maintaining or rather restoring the normal ph of the vagina and help combat BV.
Do trim pubic hair properly Pubic hair can act as a suitable breeding ground for bacterial infection.
So make sure to trim your pubic region hair from time to time or else they can also invite many other sexual diseases.
But shaving the hair without care can also lead to problems.
You may land up injuring the skin below it and invite more infections.
So make sure that you cut the hair properly.
Do not try to stop the symptoms of BV like the fishy odor or the vaginal discharge, by spraying perfume in the affected region, but rather try to get rid of the infection by taking such preventive steps.
