1747

The following tips will help you to prevent bacterial vaginosis.

Use safe sex

Safe sex is very important for you to get rid of AIDS and any other STDs. It is also effective against bacterial vaginosis. If you can abstain from sex, you don't have any possibility of getting bacterial vaginosis but that may not be very practical solution for you. So, you need to use some measures to ensure that you are not getting BV from your sexual partner. Use condom while having sex. It is even applicable to you when you have just one partner.

Decide the best birth control

If you are using IUD (intrauterine device) for birth control, probably need to think twice about it. It can increase the possibility of bacterial vaginosis. It is more important if you have a previous history of BV. Condoms are far better when it comes to birth control and prevention of BV and other STDs. You can also consider other types of birth control options such as birth control pill, vaginal ring, patch, hormone shots, cervical cap and others.

Limit sexual partners

It is also important to limit your sexual partners. When you have more sexual partners, the probability of getting BV from the any one of them increases. When you reduce the number of sexual partners to 1, it will drastically reduce the possibility of bacterial vaginosis if you know about your partner. You may still suffer from bacterial vaginosis if your partner is not faithful and he or she has other sexual partners. It is very important to talk to your partner about bacterial vaginosis and the possibility of getting it.

Clean your vagina only with water

If you need to clean your private parts, you should do that only with water. Do not use any other products for douching. If you use any other product inside the vagina, it may result in bacterial vaginosis because bacteria may get entry to inside of your vagina. Douching is not good for you because it will increase the risk of infection and BV by killing the good bacteria present in the vagina. Your vagina can clean itself naturally. If there is a need to clean it, you can always use warm water for cleaning it.

Foods rich in lactobacilli

You need to eat probiotics or foods that contain high amount of lactobacilli. It can help you by increasing good bacteria in your vagina. When you have more good bacteria there, it can help you to prevent bacterial vaginosis. Fermented cheese, or yoghurt contains high amounts of lactobacilli. Using lactobacilli is called as lactobacillus colonisation therapy.

You can also take an over-the-counter probiotic. Some studies found that when you use probiotic, the chances of BV decrease a lot. Probiotics are available in foods like kombucha, miso, and kefir. Sauerkraut, kimchi, Gouda, cheddar, and Swiss also contain high amounts of probiotics and they may be very good for you when you are trying to prevent BV.

Your diet is very important for keeping your body healthy and so it can also help you to fight and prevent bacterial vaginosis. You just need to include the important foods in your diet.

Meet your gynaecologist

Your gynaecologist can help you but only if you regularly visit your gynaecologist. Your private parts need experts for better care and gynaecologist can help you with all the information and helpful tips that you need to keep your private parts healthy. Annual pelvic exams are very important for you and if you do not have a gynaecologist to go to, a general practitioner can also perform those examinations.

Beauty tips for concealing rosacea

Apr 17, 2017

2363

Make-up can be a woman's best friend. It can help you to emphasize your best features and can help you to conceal the features that you don't like. It can also help you to conceal rosacea. You need the right beauty products and the right knowledge to reduce the bumps and redness resulting from rosacea and at the same time minimize irritation. The following tips will help you to look better even when you have rosacea.

The primer

You need a primer with silicone which will smooth the wrinkles and pores. It will also work as a barrier between your skin and the make-up you going to use. When you use this primer, your skin will look flawless. When it is working as a barrier between the other make-up and your skin, it will prevent any possible irritation caused by the make-up and the rosacea present on your skin.

Use gel or cream

You should use a gel or cream foundation, blush and concealer. You need to use these formulations because they are more moisturising in comparison to powder. If your skin has flakiness due to rosacea, cream or gel formulations will be able to conceal it better. If you use powder, it can make flakiness more pronounced. You also should not use powder because powder can cause irritation in your sensitive skin which already has rosacea.

Use the right tool

You should use a brush instead of a sponge. It is very important to use clean applicators and clean make up. If you use sponge, it will be difficult for you to clean it properly. On the other hand a brush will be easier to clean. The same applies for other make-up tools that you use. If anything can cause irritation to your skin, you should avoid that tool until your rosacea problem is over.

Take care

You need to take care of yourself. Do everything that you need to avoid the possible flare-ups. If flare-ups happen, even after that you need to continue with your work. Try to keep your skin clean and free of make-up whenever you are not going out. You should feel good and look good. If necessary, you can spend more time on your hair an outfit so that you feel confident even after you have rosacea. You will need to take extra care and take the home remedies or go to your doctor to find a solution for the problem as soon as possible. You also need to drink enough water to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day.

Take care of your eyes

You need to take care of your eyes when you are suffering from rosacea. Sometimes some people experience rosacea symptoms in their eyes which include redness, gritty sensation and itchiness. That is why you need to take care of your eyes. Use very mild products on your eye. It is best to avoid liquid eyeliner. Such an eyeliner can get into your eyes easily. Also avoid waterproof mascara. It is very difficult to remove waterproof mascara and for removing it you may need to use harsher removers. You may also need to pull and tug on the eye lids. If you do that and use harsher make-up removers, rosacea flare ups may happen. If it is necessary, change your eyeliners and other make-up products used for the eye for a few days until your rosacea problem is resolved.

If you use make-ups wisely, it can help you to conceal the redness, flakiness and other symptoms of rosacea are clearly visible on your skin and look better whenever you want to.
