Lifestyle
Avoiding Scented Hygiene Products
for Bacterial Vaginosis
Skipping scented soaps, vaginal sprays, wipes, and bubble baths around the vulva and vagina, and using plain water or a mild, unscented cleanser instead.
How it works
Fragrances and harsh cleansers can irritate vaginal tissue and disrupt the natural pH and bacterial balance, which some guidelines link to a higher risk of BV and irritation.
What to watch for
A preventive habit, not a treatment for existing BV. Will not clear symptoms once BV is present; see a doctor for that.
