The problem with antibiotics is that bacteria eventually outsmart them!
Implications of Overusing Antibiotics
It is worth noting that while prophylaxis with antibiotics is most of the time effective in staving off BV, using antibiotics to prevent BV can have serious drawbacks. For one, while antibiotics do strip our body of the bad bacteria that can cause UTIs, they also strip our body of the good bacteria we need to keep a balanced intimate part. Without the good bacteria, your intimate part is primed for another bacterial or yeast infections that can more easily set in.
Furthermore, over-dependence on antibiotic strategies can lead to bacterial resistance. The more frequently you take antibiotics for an infection, the more likely it is bacteria will eventually develop resistance to those antibiotics, which makes it less likely that treatment will be effective the next time around.
So while antibiotics are certainly a tempting BV prevention method for someone who repeatedly suffers from BV, it is worth noting that overusing antibiotics comes with potential long-term risk and side effects.
The good news is that you now have a non-antibiotic approach to manage recurrent BV infections…. Introducing ENCORE Like V…
Prevention is always the best way to avoid recurrent BV!! There is always a better option than to be dependent on antibiotics/ medication.
ENCORE Like V:
- Restores vaginal flora via intimate part acidification to its normal physiological pH level, leading to:
- Reduction in pathogenic (unfriendly) bacteria
- Increase of endogenous protective (friendly) Lactobacilli forming an important natural defense to infections
- Easy absorbent and can help maintain the natural lubrication required by the intimate part
- Prevents recurrences of Bacterial Vaginosis
Don’t let intimate part odour get the best of you. Intimate part odour is about pH imbalance, not bad hygiene. If you are uncomfortable with your intimate part odour, take back control and be your best, fresh confident self. You now have an option to deal with intimate part odour that tackles the problem at its source and in a natural way.
