NeuEve is better because all other products may clear BV but cannot stop it from coming back. NeuEve is the only product that can clear BV and stop it from coming back.
To date, over 100,000 women have found long-term relief for good from the most stubborn vaginal atrophy (atrophic vaginitis) and/or BV (bacterial vaginosis) that all other products have failed.
To understand how NeuEve works, we need to introduce tell you some background knowledge about BV.
What causes BV?
BV is an imbalance of vaginal microbiome. During BV, the friendly bacteria Lactobacillus decrease, while the unwanted anaerobic bacteria increase.
The exact cause is unknown. However, factors that cause imbalance of the vaginal microbiome may result in BV.
Normally, the friendly bacteria lactobacillus colonizes the vagina. It keeps your vagina acidic so bad bacteria do not overgrow. If your lactobacillus reduces, more bad bacteria grow up, and you get BV. Therefore, any conditions that cause reduction of vaginal Lactobacillus may cause BV. The risk factors include antibiotic use, vaginal douching, a new partner, or multiple partners. In some cases, BV may occur without any apparent causes.
How is BV treated?
Doctors may prescribe antibiotics (metronidazole, clindamycin, or tinidazole) to treat BV. This could be a tablet you take or a cream or gel you put into the vagina. It may take 5 to 7 days to finish the medicine.
Since BV can spread through sex, don’t have sexual contact until you complete the treatment.
A major problem in BV treatment is recurrence. If that happens, the doctor may let you take antibiotics again for a longer time.
Using antibiotics for the long term may cause side effects. These include yeast infection and bacterial drug resistance.
Besides antibiotics, other products are available over the counter for BV management. These include:
- Antiseptics, such as boric acid, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, essential oils, etc.
- Acidifiers, such as vinegar, yogurt, acid gel, etc.
- Probiotics, such as Lactobacillus pills or suppositories.
- Prebiotics, such as oligosaccharide.
- Vaginal douches, such as Summer’s Eve. Its goal is to get rid of odor, but it flushes out good bacteria and disturbs the vaginal microbiome. Doctors do not recommend douching because it actually increases the risk of BV.
What is the odds of recurrence after my BV clears?
A significant feature of BV is recurrence.
Scientific literature says that BV may recur in about 80% of cases within 3 months. These include relapse or reinfection. Thus, your BV may recur at the same high rates after the initial clearance. This does not mean the initial treatment is not successful. It might have been a reinfection. When recurrence occurs, your BV becomes recurrent BV.
There had been no methods to stop BV recurrence before the creation of NeuEve. With NeuEve, you can reduce the recurrence rate to zero by practicing maintenance.
It is not recommended using antibiotics and/or antiseptics when you do not have an infection. Long-term use of antibiotics or antiseptics can severely disturb the balance of the vaginal microbiome. A common side effect is yeast infection.
However, NeuEve is not an antibiotic or antiseptic. NeuEve delivers nutrients. Therefore, NeuEve products can be used for long-term maintenance to stop BV from coming back.
