General information about Bacterial Vaginosis that every women need to know
The biggest issue is the smell. It’s difficult during intimate moments to overcome a strong smell especially if your partner is engaging in oral sex. Many women use perfume to try to cover up the smell, but this doesn’t work because when you become sexually excited, the cervical juices start flowing. This causes more of the smell to come with it. And because it’s impossible to keep adding more and more perfume during intercourse, the smell wins the game.
Bacteria have cravings, too. When you have food cravings for chocolate, candy, cookies, pastries, donuts, white bread, and other processed foods, this sets off a sex craving for the bacteria and they’ll reproduce like crazy! Refined carbohydrates, sugar, alcohol and caffeine are no-no’s when you have bacterial vaginosis. The next time you find yourself craving any of these foods, it’s time to stand back and ask yourself if the momentary pleasure is worth the itching, burning, pain and embarrassing smell.

When an antibiotic is taken, the natural flora in all linings of the organs are affected, not just the natural flora of the vagina.
