First let me begin by stating why I am writing this article about a fishy smell during period. The fact is this article is a promotion of my website which contains much more information on bacterial vaginosis. You can find the link to my website (http://whatisbacterialvaginosis.com/) at the end of this article.
The thing that is causing you to have a fishy smell during a period is probably bacterial vaginosis. The disease bacterial vaginosis is notorious for causing a fishy odor in the vagina. The odor is caused by pathogenic bacteria that have bred and multiplied to the point where you can detect a fishy odor during your period. The primary bacteria responsible for this are Gardnerella vaginalis, Mobiluncus, Bacteroides. Mycoplasma. These bacteria need to be eliminated and replaced with good, helpful bacteria if you ever want that fishy smell during your period to go away.
The good bacteria that can help you are known as Lactobacillus, especially Lactobacillus acidophilus. These bacteria actually are the natural flora that should be living in the vagina. If the vagina is full of Lactobacillus acidophilus it should keep the other bad bacteria at bay. Lactobacillus bacteria acidify their environment by producing lactic acid; bad bacteria do not like an acidic vagina so this is one primary method Lactobacillus use to keep the bad bacteria at bay. Again I have much more information at my website, this article is just an advertisement for my website.
If you want to get rid of the bad bacteria and keep the good bacteria around you can learn the book that tells you exactly how to do this at my website. The book is written by a quality author and the author promises to refund your money if you feel the book was unsatisfactory. The book is pretty sweet and will show you an easy to do 3 step plan to rid yourself of bacterial vaginosis in approximately 3 days.
Sometimes bacterial vaginosis is asymptomatic, meaning that although the disease is present in the vagina there are no symptoms which indicates its presence. Bacterail vaginsosis can do more harm than just give you a fishy smell during period. If left unchecked it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease and cause complications with pregnancy. Bacterial vaginosis is not hard to get rid of but it is hard to keep at bay.
You may have taken antibiotics or other prescription medications only to find temporary relief. Typically bacterial vaginosis will recur after you discontinue your regimen of antibiotics. The bacteria were eliminated but your vagina was not protected from their reemergence. The only way to stop these bacteria from coming back is by making sure your vagina is full of good bacteria. Therefore antibiotics kill both the good and bad bacteria making it easy for bacterial vaginosis to reemerge.
Again, if you have the time please check out my website that contains a lot more information than this article does. Hopefully you can learn more about bacterial vaginosis and get pointed in the right direction by reading Kristina Tomlin's book "3 Days to Permanent Bacterial Vaginosis Relief." The website will explain a little more and when you get the book you can see for yourself just how easy her 3 step plan is to follow and be free from a fishy smell during period for good!
