Naturopathic Solutions for Vaginitis: A Natural Approach to Relief
Vaginitis, or inflammation of the vagina, is a common and uncomfortable condition that affects millions of women every year. Conventional treatments often focus on symptom management, but a Naturopath will take a holistic approach, addressing the root cause of your discomfort to provide long-term relief.
What are the Symptoms of Vaginitis?
Vaginitis can have many causes, including:
Infections (bacterial, fungal, or parasitic)
Hormonal imbalances
Irritants (soaps, detergents, perfumes, etc.)
Allergies
Symptoms may include:
Vaginal or vulvar irritation
Abnormal discharge
Itching
Odor
A Naturopathic Approach
An individualised treatment plans may include:
Balancing hormones: We support your liver's natural detoxification processes to help regulate estrogen levels and reduce inflammation.
Healing and strengthening vaginal tissue: Specific nutrients, like Vitamin A, is recommended to support tissue health and promote a healthy immune response.
Eliminating infections: Using natural antimicrobials and probiotics to help eliminate harmful organisms and restore a healthy vaginal microbiome. I often prescribe a vaginal pessary with Lactobacillus crispatus and L. gasseri are the most beneficial vaginal probiotic species, as it is present in 2/3 of vaginas across the world. Other stains like L. rhamnosus and L. reuteri are also beneficial for vaginal and urinary health.
Supporting liver detoxification: We help your body clear out excess hormones and environmental toxins that can contribute to inflammation.
Boosting immunity: We focus on strengthening your overall immune system through dietary changes, stress management, and lifestyle recommendations to help prevent future infections.
