Home Treatment For Vaginal Odor – Vagina Smell

Any vagina smell or any vagina odor will cause distress and embarrassment for any women. The main cause of the vagina odour in most cases is an infection which is known as bacterial vaginosis. Firstly let me say this is a very common complaint of which over 50% of women of child bearing age will have to endure at some time. Other symptoms include itching or burning although not always but in most cases the main symptom is a fish type odor.

Your first call of action should be to visit your doctor because if the condition is left untreated bacterial vaginosis may increase a woman’s risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, cervicitis and even pregnancy complications.

In basic terms bacterial vaginosis occurs when the good “bacteria” in the vagina is overrun by the “bad” bacteria and so an infection is born. Your doctor in most if not all cases will prescribe a course of antibiotics and within a few days the infection should subside. Many women though do suffer from reoccurrences of the condition. This is due to the antibiotics killing both good and bad bacteria leaving the vagina unable to fight new infections due to low levels of good bacteria.

If a women suffers many reoccurrences of the condition she should look for a home remedy to work alongside the antibiotics which will aid a long term solution. Whilst suffering with the infection many women have lessened the symptoms by bathing in the following once per day.

Tree Oil Bath

4 or 5 drops in your bath, soak for 20 minutes.

Remember over 50% of women will suffer from this infection and your doctor will come across this most weeks. The condition will not simply go away on its own and can cause major complications if left untreated. As I have already said your first call of action should be to visit your doctor and perhaps seek a decent home remedy to work alongside the antibiotics if the condition reappears.
