How can I prevent bacterial vaginosis, and is it linked to diet?

Gynaecology Sexual Health Diet & Nutrition

I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis (gardnerella) last week and have been taking antibiotics twice daily. I was wondering how can I prevent bacterial vaginosis from happening, and are there any natural foods I can take to help?

DOCTOR’S ANSWER (1)

It is usually related to a change in pH or local bacterial flora. This is turn is most commonly caused by frequent douching, recent antibiotic use, occasionally related to change in partners. Diet, not so much so!
