10 Symptoms and Treatments of Bacterial Vaginosis

8. Milk and yogurt

These dairy products are full of lactobacillus, which are beneficial bacteria for your vagina. It helps fight the bad bacteria and maintain your pH balance. Especially natural yogurt. Use yogurt as a cream and dip a cotton pad into a tub of yogurt and place it on the affected area. Leave for half an hour (best to keep sitting, so it won't dislodge with movement). After half an hour wash away with clean water and repeat three times a day. Alternatively, you can dip a tampon into yogurt or milk and act quickly by inserting it into your vagina for up to two hours, repeat twice daily until symptoms subside. Lastly, of course, eating yogurt is also good to restore any pH imbalance and keep up good flora levels for the bacteria in your body. However, at no point should you use anything containing sugar or sweetners on or near your genitals.
