Home Treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis Possible

The right probiotic can be effective as a home treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis for many women.

And what is "the right probiotic?" Any supplement that contains Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14 in the correct amount. My personal favorite is Fem Dophilus which contains those two probiotics in the same strength that was used in the successful studies.

During the last few years there has been a wealth of research done on bacterial vaginosis treatment and the part that probiotics play.

Home treatment of Bacterial vaginosis is definitely possible for some women.

The winners (by a country mile) in the "Bacterial Vaginosis Home Remedy" Stakes

• Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1
• Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus fermentum RC-14 have both proved particularly good at this "ascent from the rectum after oral ingestion" as the scientists like to put it which makes them very suitable for home treatment of bacterial vaginosis.¹ ² ³




"The ingestion of the GR-1/RC-14 probiotic therapy resulted in the vaginal flora being restored to normal within 28 days in 82% in one group of patients."



That success rate makes Fem Dophilus a very effective home treatment for bacterial vaginosis.

Remember, these ladies were taking their probiotic supplement for BV by MOUTH, not inserting it vaginally! The research was done on the two exact strains and in the same dosage that you find in Fem Dophilus.

That is what makes it so good.

The conclusion was: In summary, the findings indicate that a daily ORAL dose of 10 billion viable probiotic Lactobacilli can restore and maintain the urogenital health of women.

Research has discovered that for the very best results you need to take Fem-Dophilus in the correct amount when you are clear of BV. This will enhance your vaginal microflora so that as the competing pathogens attempt to return, they can't find an unoccupied spot to "set up home".

The temptation for many women is to treat the BV and then forget about it.

But as so many of you know, the wretched thing comes back! By immediately following up your treatment with Fem-Dophilus many women will get rid of BV permanently.

So if you have an active case of BV it should be treated first. If you don't want to go the antibiotic route, then good results have been got with a VAGINAL capsule of the GR-1/RC-14 probiotic mix for 3 days and then followed up with a once daily ORAL capsule.⁴

Fem Dophilus will not keep EVERY woman clear of BV because each woman's body is different - as is the reason each woman gets BV.

I have not heard of anything that works for everyone. But used as discussed above it really has shown itself to be an effective home treatment of bacterial vaginosis for many women.
