The vagina is acidic, with a typical pH between 3.8 and 4.5. A number of factors can interrupt the pH of the vagina and make it less acidic, such as over-washing the vulva or using perfumed products around the vagina, taking baths instead of showers, wearing tight clothing and, of course, having sex or using sex toys. While BV is not classified as a sexually transmitted infection, it is important to remember that women can pass it on to other women during sexual intercourse. The bacteria that commonly causes BV can also be detected through full STI screen testing if you are unsure about your symptoms, despite the fact that it is not a sexually transmitted illness.",{"id":242,"__component":404,"Subtitle":413},"Fact: Bacterial Vaginosis is Often Mistaken for Thrush",{"id":108,"__component":391,"Paragraph":415},[416],{"type":36,"children":417},[418],{"text":419,"type":40},"While the symptoms of BV and thrush are very different, the fact that thrush is more widely known by women means that bacterial vaginosis is often mistaken for something else. While BV is caused by bacteria, thrush is a yeast infection. Some of the most common symptoms of thrush include intense itching around the vagina and labia, and stinging around the urethra. Discharge usually becomes thicker and more opaque, or watery, but there is often no odour.Bacterial vaginosis, however, does not typically cause pain or discomfort around the vagina, and many women do not even notice that they are suffering from it. The most common symptom is an off-white discharge that smells unpleasant or ‘fishy’, which may be more noticeable following sexual intercourse.",{"id":220,"__component":404,"Subtitle":421},"Fiction: Douching or More Frequent Washing Can Prevent BV",{"id":102,"__component":391,"Paragraph":423},[424],{"type":36,"children":425},[426],{"text":427,"type":40},"While we are all aware that good hygiene practices are important to limiting the amount of bad bacteria that gets into our bodies, the vagina is capable of keeping itself clean, and maintaining a healthy balance in order to prevent infection. Douching can cause a significant disruption to the vaginal flora — even if you are only using water — and is not recommended. Washing the vulva — that is, only the external genitalia — once a day with a non-perfumed, pH balanced soap is much healthier for the vagina. For some women, bathing can make them more vulnerable to BV — particularly if they use scented bubble baths, oils, and bath bombs.

What’s more, BV can also increase your risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection, such as chlamydia, as the vagina’s natural defences are disrupted. Metronidazole is an effective bacterial vaginosis treatment, which can be taken as a single dose, or over the course of seven days. It is an antibiotic, also used in the treatment of gum infections and pelvic inflammatory disease, although it is not suitable for remote bacterial vaginosis treatment during pregnancy, or when you are breastfeeding.",{"id":246,"__component":404,"Subtitle":437},"Fiction: Acidic Foods Prevent Bacterial Vaginosis",{"id":439,"__component":391,"Paragraph":440},73,[441],{"type":36,"children":442},[443],{"text":444,"type":40},"While it may be easy to see how this misconception came about, there is no evidence that diet has any bearing on the pH levels inside the vagina. Consuming acidic foods such as dairy, red meat, and sugary snacks are not an effective preventative or bacterial vaginosis treatment, and it remains vital to your general health and wellbeing that you maintain a healthy and balanced diet.When it comes to ensuring that we are following a healthy lifestyle, staying hydrated is of the utmost importance. Dehydration can cause our skin to become increasingly dry, which could lead to a change in the pH level within the vagina.

They tend to be more serious in men, and require a more aggressive form of treatment to prevent further complications.  For men, a UTI can lead to Non-Specific Urethritis, the symptoms for which are pain, discomfort or irritation when urinating, and discharge from the penis. While chlamydia is the most common cause of NSU, it is not a sexually transmitted infection, and can be caused by a range of different infections. In women, NSU typically presents no symptoms. Men with NSU will require a Non Specific Urethritis Treatment, in order to treat the infection before it grows more severe. If it is left to take hold, it can spread to the testicles and prostate and cause lasting infertility as a result, which is why it is important to find the right antibiotics as soon as possible.",{"id":6,"__component":404,"Subtitle":484},"A UTI is a Sign of Bad Hygiene",{"id":83,"__component":391,"Paragraph":486},[487],{"type":36,"children":488},[489],{"text":490,"type":40},"Anyone can contract a UTI, and some of us are simply more prone to them than others. In fact, being too zealous in your hygiene practices can increase your risk of contracting a UTI, as harsh soaps and vigorous scrubbing can remove the good bacteria – your first line of defense against infections – from the vagina, or create small cuts that increase your vulnerability to bad bacteria.  While certain habits, like wiping from back to front, should be avoided to ensure that bacteria like E.coli are kept as far from the urinary tract as possible, a suffering from a urinary tract infection should not be taken as a sign that someone has poor hygiene practices – it may, in fact, be the opposite.",{"id":79,"__component":404,"Subtitle":492},"A UTI Is a Sexually Transmitted Infection",{"id":331,"__component":391,"Paragraph":494},[495],{"type":36,"children":496},[497],{"text":498,"type":40},"By now, it is common knowledge that sexual intercourse can increase the risk of urinary tract infections – particularly in women who are prone to them. During sex, bacteria can be pushed toward the urinary tract, and may cause an infection that requires treatment before it goes away.  That said, UTIs are never classed as sexually transmitted infections. They are not contagious, and will not be passed between partners during sex.

If it holds any grounding, the efficacy of cranberry juice lies in prevention, rather than treatment. A certain ingredient found in cranberries and cranberry supplements is purported to prevent bacteria from fixing itself to the walls of the urinary tract – which is generally considered useless if you already have an infection. The findings on this subject are mixed, but this study found no real benefit to using cranberry juice as a preventative for UTIs.  Contracting a UTI – particularly if it is a common occurrence for you – can be distressing. It is important to remember, however, that we are all vulnerable to these infections, and that seeking treatment is important not only for our comfort and peace of mind, but also in preventing further complications such as kidney infections and nonspecific urethritis.  While there are steps to take against further issues with UTIs, such as urinating after sex and modifying our hygiene habits to ensure the area is kept healthy with beneficial bacteria, they remain common, and should be dealt with in the same way we would treat any other infection within the body.",{"id":508,"metaTitle":509,"metaDescription":510,"ogTitle":511,"ogDescription":454,"ogImageUrl":74,"twitterTitle":511,"twitterDescription":454,"twitterImage":74,"jsonSchema":512,"pageTitle":513},269,"Top urinary tract infection myths | Anytime Doctor","UTIs, or urinary tract infections, represent an incredibly common range of infections, but, in spite of their.
