Is it possible that there's a permanent cure for bacterial vaginosis or is it something that you have to learn to deal with for the rest of your life?

Maybe a good way to think about this is in this way: when you had bacterial vaginosis before, and the doctor gave you a cream, the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis seemed to go away. Maybe even for a long time. But then they seemed to come back.

Yes, bacteria will come into the vagina – there's just no way, practically speaking, to prevent this from happening. But you don’t need to (other than careful hygiene habits discussed before) actively try to rinse away or kill the regular germs.

The vagina is an amazing organ and it's part of a wonderful system, which if kept in “tune,” won’t get infected. The trick is to know how to not get sick or infected by building up a sort of first and second line of defense.

We talked about the skin being that first line of defense for keeping you from getting sick. The second one is a very special and very complex set of organs and tissues called your immune system.

There are several key parts to your immune system. One is the lymphatic system. Another is the white blood cells. Still another is the mucus cells we talked about.

These and more work together to set up a defense against intrusion. It all works very well together to keep you healthy.

Even when you don’t eat right, sleep enough or get regular relaxation, your body manages to stay ahead of the “enemy” – germs and bacteria of all kinds.

But let any of these lifestyle habits get out of hand for too long and you're setting yourself up to get sick. And that means any kind of sickness, not just bacterial vaginosis.

So, from this point on we're going to talk about what you can do to keep your immune system in top condition so that it can help your body ward off further infection.

One of the first things you’ll need to think about when you hope to cure bacterial vaginosis permanently, is to overhaul your eating habits.

In this world of ours, we have easy access to foods that are non nutritious foods; foods that for all intents and purposes are a waste of calories in your body that leads to weight gain and sickness.
