Product Description What is Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)*?
Bacterial Vaginosis, or BV, occurs when there’s a change in the natural pH balance in the intimate area. This then causes a change in the bacterial environment.
Healthy intimate areas are slightly acidic, thanks to the presence of good bacteria called lactobacilli that produce lactic acid. However, if these are in short supply, harmful bacteria can grow and trigger occurrences of BV.
BV is very common, in fact more women in the UK suffer from it than any other intimate area condition. And it’s twice as prevalent as thrush, even though BV is often mistaken for thrush, purely because this is better known. Because very few people have heard of BV they typically treat symptoms as thrush. This can cause recurrences of BV and sometimes lead to thrush.
BV is totally normal and natural. It can be caused by lots of things but here is an idea of the most common causes: - Excessive Washing
- Perfumed Soaps
- Menstruation
- Semen

What treatments are available for BV?
There are a variety of treatments on offer, including gels and pessaries that can be bought over the counter, online or on prescription. Antibiotics are also available on prescription from your doctor or pharmacist (although they can upset the delicate balance of bacteria), while some people even choose home remedies.
Balance Activ, has been shown to be as effective as antibiotics in relieving symptoms of BV. It contains lactic acid and glycogen, working with your body to promote the growth of good bacteria and restore the natural intimate area balance.
