Bacterial vaginitis Causes
The main cause of bacterial vaginitis is an overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria and the Gardnerella organism. Generally in a vagina there are more Lactobacillus bacteria than bad bacteria like Gardnerella Vaginalis and Mobiluncus. When the number of bad bacteria increases in vagina, they upset the balance. and this imbalance causes bacterial vaginitis
This imbalance could be caused due to various reasons such as
-Repeated sexual intercourse in a short duration which leads to a rise in the vaginal pH and results in growth of bacteria and infectionlike symptoms.
-Moisture (for long period of time) in the vaginal area caused by restrictive and nonabsorbent synthetic clothing. -Use of chemicals that may cause irritation.-Use of antibiotics that disrupt the balance of the bacterial environment in the vagina.

| I read another review about this product & it REALLY works! I have no insurance right now I was getting despersate! I bought this @ Walgreens & my symptoms have gone away.I took my second dose last night. I can't stand bacterial vaginosis..I get it when I stress out. It's a horrible feeling to know that down there things are NOT right! Well, now once I notice the symptoms I'll buy this. No more worries about odor or being paranoid if any one once can notice an odor. |
It really does work!

| I was suffering from a bacterial infection for a month now due to lack of insurance and the money to pay for a doctor visit. As you probably know there aren't many over the counter drugs for bacteria, yeast yes, bacteria no. After being totally frustrated I decided I was going to making a Benedine Douche. But I came across Rephresh, I tried it and in three days my symptoms are gone. It really does work. I've tried the tea home remedy which didn't seem to work at all for me. I tried using yogurt which helped but not enough to truly get rid of the odor for longer than a couple of days. I recommend this to everyone, it's a little costly. About $20 but they give you 4 applicators and I only used one and it worked so it's really worth it. I truly understand the irritance of a bacteria infection and really think this is a great product to help. |
