Reducing Refined Sugar and Processed Food Intake
for Bacterial Vaginosis
Cutting back on refined sugar and highly processed foods, based on a general naturopathic idea that diet influences bacterial balance throughout the body, including vaginal flora.
How it works
A proposed but unproven idea that lower blood sugar reduces conditions that favor harmful bacteria throughout the body, including the vagina; this pathway is well established for some conditions, such as recurrent yeast infections in diabetes, but has not been demonstrated for BV specifically.
What to watch for
No direct evidence links dietary changes to BV cure or prevention. May have general health benefits unrelated to BV. Should not delay or replace evidence-based treatment.
