Balance Activ Vaginale Gel, 7x5 Ml 7st

Symptoms If, for some reason, the balance of the normal bacteria in the vagina is disrupted then you might notice some of the following symptoms: Embarrassing vaginal odour (sometimes described as smelling 'fishy') Abnormal discharge (often thin and white-grey in colour) Discomfort (normally irritation or soreness in and around the vagina) Imbalance So, what is an imbalance? Different types of bacteria live naturally in the vagina normally the bacteria present in the largest numbers are lactic acid bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria produce acidifying lactic acid which maintains the normal low pH of the vagina, protecting against infection. If the numbers of lactic acid bacteria are reduced, pH levels rise, encouraging the growth of other bacteria. This can result in embarrassing odour, abnormal discharge and discomfort in the vagina which are very common problems. The growth of the unwanted bacteria is a condition known as Bacterial Vaginosis or BV. Experts estimate that at least 1 in 3 women, and perhaps most women, will develop BV at some point in their life. It is commonly thought that Thrush is the most common type of vaginal infection, but Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is actually the most frequently occurring vaginal condition in women of childbearing age, and is about twice as common as Thrush. Causes What causes the balance of bacteria to change? The vagina is normally quite acidic (pH 3.8 - 4.5). Certain things can cause the acidity to be reduced (increasing the pH). This makes it hard for the healthy bacteria to survive, and encourages overgrowth of the unwanted bacteria. The main causes in younger women are: prolonged menstruation (your period) use of IntraUterine Devices (IUD's, commonly known as the coil) frequent douching (washing out unwanted organisms along with the normal harmless bacteria) perfumed intimate products sex without a condom (semen has a higher pH level than the vagina) Other causes can include having a new sexual partner, multiple sexual partners, same sex sexual partners, the menopause (during and/or directly after) and hormone imbalances. This bacterial imbalance is not caused by poor hygiene in fact excessive washing of the vagina may alter the normal balance of bacteria. BV is not a sexually transmitted infection - any male sexual partners you might have would not need any treatment. You do not need to be sexually active to get the condition.
