Bacterial Vaginosis, Gardnerella Vaginalis, or BV is one of the most common women's health issues. Treatment for BV is now easy and discreet in the privacy of your own home.
Bacterial Vaginosis, more commonly known as BV, is a very common women's health issue that affects around one in three women at some point in their lives. We all have good bacteria (which can prevent infection) and bad bacteria (which can cause infection) that live in the vagina, however if these become unbalanced and the pH level of the vagina becomes too high, this can cause inflammation, vaginal discharge and a fishy smell - this is known as BV.
There are many causes of BV, including hormone changes (during periods, pregnancy and the menopause), sexual intercourse, antibiotics, and even washing too much or using soaps and washes that are highly scented.
Home treatment for BV and Gardnerella - and prevents further infections by maintaining & regulating a healthy pH balance too!
Relactagel is a home treatment for BV that works to rebalance the bacteria in the vagina, restore the vagina's natural acidity and relieves abnormal discharge and odour. Relactagel is a comfortable to use gel that is applied directly into the vagina. Relactagel can be used as a BV treatment for flare ups, simply by applying one tube a day for 7 days at bedtime, or if you find you suffer repeated cases of bacterial vaginosis, it can be used monthly for 2-3 days after your menstrual cycle to help keep your pH and bacteria balanced and healthy.
Relactagel contains lactic acid to help restore the natural normal acid pH balance of the vagina, to help rebalance the vaginal flora. Relactagel should be avoided if you are trying to get pregnancy as semen is highly alkaline and will counteract the pH lowering effect of Relactagel.
Each pack contains 7 tubes, enough to treat one episode of bacterial vaginosis, or enough to use as prevention against BV for two to three months, if used as directed for 2-3 days after each menstrual period.
Relactagel is suitable for women of all ages, and is even a suitable BV treatment for use during pregnancy.
