Bacterial vaginosis refers to vaginal inflammation arising from an imbalance of naturally occurring bacterial flora in the vagina. Both good bacteria and bad bacteria are present in the vagina. Bacterial vaginosis occurs when the natural balance between these bacteria is disrupted and bad bacteria (anaerobic bacteria) outgrows the number of good bacteria (lactobacilli that keeps vagina slightly acidic and keep a check on overgrowth of bad types of bacteria) residing in the vagina. Homeopathic medicines for bacterial vaginosis majorly helps to reduce the vaginal discharges, vaginal itching and complaint of burning during urination. 
Bacterial vaginosis is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI) but it puts a female at risk to get a STI. This is because the vagina becomes less acidic in bacterial vaginosis, which means that there is a reduction in the natural defence against infection.
The risk factors that increase the chances of developing bacterial vaginosis include multiple or a new sexual partner, women having female sexual partners, vaginal douching, using scented soaps, using vaginal deodorants, use of intrauterine devices and cigarette smoking.

I’m 8 months postpartum (with PCOS) and I’ve had very irregular cycles. Periods lasting for 13 days and then starting again after a week and a half. When it starts again, there is lots of brown and red discharge which gives a burning sensation. Then the period is very heavy. What should I do? Can you help? Do I need to get an unltrasound to make sure nothing was left behind after delivery?
Hello .
I have had recurring bacterial vaginosis for at least five years now . In December it hurt to pee(in my stomach, not burning ) I ended up in the hospital and diagnosed with Trichomoniasis and a uti . It has come back three times since and I have been treated each time with strong antibiotics. Every time it goes away for a week or so then it comes right back . I believe there’s an underlying issue so I figured I would reach out to you in hopes to solve this issue .

I suffer from UTIs 4-6x/yr over the last 2 years have been struggling with a vicious cycle of taking Macrobid and in turn of microbial imbalance causing severe vaginal burning. I tend to lean towards homeopathy as much as possible. I have Sepia on hand (believe 30c) but unsure how often to take and whether or not I should combine with something else. Occasional milky discharge but no itching or odor noted.
Greetings Dr. Sharma,

I am 64 year old female. I do not have sexual relations with anyone. Very very dry, sore and itchy down below. Calendula lotion helps. There is no discharge. Dry as a bone. No odour. I am one of those people that urinates a lot too, but rarely stings accept across the skin which is already very sore. Thank you for your kind assistance. I understand btw that Canesten treatment for this condition causes abdominal pains for some. This makes me very wary! I have used homeopathy all my life. Any suggestions? Thank you so much.
