Bacterial Vaginosis

What is bacterial vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis is a common vaginal infection caused by an imbalance in the vagina's natural microbiome. The most common symptom of bacterial vaginosis is foul-smelling discharge, which can be both uncomfortable and embarrassing. Unfortunately, many women also suffer in silence because they may not know how to diagnose or treat it.

DIAGNOSE BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS IN 30 SECONDS

Research shows that there is a lack of awareness about bacterial vaginosis and that many women do not seek help for their symptoms. So how do you know if you have bacterial vaginosis? Well, you don’t know until you take a test at, for example, a youth clinic or gynecologist, or send a test to a laboratory, which can take a few days to get results. VagiVital VS Self-Test is a Swedish patented self-test that is easy to use and provides lightning-fast results. With an impressive sensitivity of 91.80%, this test can identify bacterial vaginosis within 30 seconds. What makes the VS Self-Test even more impressive is that it not only measures the pH value but also the buffering capacity in discharge, which means the discharge’s ability to resist pH changes. This is a crucial step forward because traditional pH strips can miss up to 22% of BV cases where the pH value is normal. VagiVital VS Self-Test helps women quickly find out the cause of their foul-smelling discharge, making it easier to address bacterial vaginosis at an early stage.


PREVENT BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS

It is still not entirely clear why some women develop bacterial vaginosis, but it is usually recommended to avoid washing the intimate area with soap and to use condoms during intercourse. Cleaning the intimate area with soap also risks drying out the sensitive mucous membranes and disturbing the pH balance. VagiVital V Cleanser is an intimate wash that is different and completely unique on the market! This product has the same moisturizing and unique properties as VagiVital AktivGel but with a little added rapeseed oil. Soap risks drying out the vagina, while an oil only removes fat-soluble impurities. Although the product is soap-free, it can clean both fat- and water-soluble impurities while moisturizing without disturbing the sensitive pH balance of the intimate area.
