Hi there . . . I have heard about
gardenella from friends and myth for years
but recently experienced it myself and it
was very embarrassing so I know the
feeling! From what I understand it's a
bacteria that is normally found in your
anus but when it gets into your vagina and
other factors like stress or illness
combine to change your vaginal ph and
reduce the amount of good bacteria there,
the gardenella multiplies quickly. It
can give off a fishy odor that gets quite
strong.
I tried to treat myself with yogurt,
acidophilus suppositories and tea tree oil
suppositories but in the end ended up at
the doctor's office for a prescription for
flagil. Take all pills! The flagil
got rid of it but I still eat lots of
yogurt to keep the good acidophilus
bacteria abundant.
