7 Tips To Prevent Bacterial Vaginosis
By Rita Kennon

First of all, bacterial vaginosis is not your fault. That reminds me of something that Forest Gump once said, "it happens--- sometimes”. He was serious.

There are stories that would nearly bring tears to your eyes- of women being embarrassed, about whispers of 'a strange smell', of being afraid to get close to anyone in social situations, the inability to have intimacy with their partner, and even marital separations.

This is an issue that gets very little media attention. Most people just sweep it under the rug so to speak because it is such a personal issue. There are countless women with bacterial vaginosis that are afraid to even mention it to their family physician.

It is time to speak out. Vaginal odor from bacterial vaginosis is a medical problem, not a hygiene problem. Even if you nearly scrubbed the skin off, the intense cleansing would not make it go away.

Therefore it is a problem that can not be simply wished away or ignored. You can not afford to risk your health and happiness over this imbalance when it can be treated.

Bacterial vaginosis is actually an infection with inflammation in the vagina. It is caused by an overabundance of certain bacteria.
