default
Posted on Tue, 13 May 2014
Question: Hello, I am a post menopausal women who has been suffering from BV infections for 8 years. I currently started taking a probiotic with 30 billion live cultures and found out too much of a good thing is bad and now I have cytolytic vaginosis. My ph is low and I have thick white discharge with no smell. I have been searching on line for a home remedy and found that I need to balance my ph with apple cider vineger. My fear is that since my ph has been running high that doing anything with throw me back to a bv infection. Should I just leave it alone and allow my flora to balance out on it's own? If not what is the best course for me to take?

Brief Answer: Douching will help. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. Too low pH can cause cytolytic vaginosis. If you stop taking the probiotic your vaginal flora will return to normal in a week to 10 days. You can douche with sodium bicarbonate solution or use a sodium bicarbonate suppository vaginally for earlier relief. Douche can be carried out twice weekly for a week. Solution for douching can be prepared by mixing 1–2 table spoons of baking soda with four cups of warm water. Alternatively, empty gelatin capsules can be filled using baking soda and one capsule is inserted intravaginally. Please feel free to discuss further.
