Balance Activ

There are remedies available which will help to rebalance the vagina’s natural pH levels to alleviate the symptoms of BV. Balance Activ BV pessaries are clinically proven to do this and ease the irritation. It is easy to administer, getting right to the root of the issue.

Bacterial Vaginosis, or BV, is an infection of the vagina which is quite common in women. The vagina is naturally acidic, but if the pH levels rise to be in excess of 4.5, this can cause BV. BV is not a serious condition, and many women who suffer from it will not be aware as they will not experience any symptoms. However, for those who do have symptoms, they can be uncomfortable and cause some embarrassment. Symptoms include:

• More discharge than normal that is greyish white in colour
• Discharge that might change in composition to become thin and watery
• A strong smell that is particularly evident after sexual intercourse
• Discomfort and irritation felt in the genital region (this is less common)

BV is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI); however, it can make it more easy to contract chlamydia.

Balance Activ BV pessaries are safe to use and can even be used during pregnancy and menstruation. However, if you think you have a vaginal infection whilst pregnancy, it is advisable to speak to your GP.

If used at the same time as having a fungal infection such as thrush, Balance Activ BV pessaries might cause a mild stinging sensation due to the cracks in the vaginal tissues, but this will only be temporary.

You should start to notice an improvement in the symptoms of your BV from the first dose taken, as it will get to work immediately. Your symptoms of BV should be almost fully cleared within just a few days of use, but it is advisable to take the full 7-day course of treatment to ensure your internal health is restored in full.

Balance Activ BV Pessaries are easy to use and will effectively treat your symptoms of BV. In order to administer your treatment, please follow these instructions:

It is best advised to insert your pessaries at bedtime when you are able to lie down in a comfortable position. Administering them whilst lying down and then staying in this position for some time will allow them to stay in place and can therefore keep the maximum amount of the active ingredient where it is required to treat the problem. You will also prevent some leakage by being in this position, although you may prefer to wear a panty liner too.

• Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.
• Remove a single pessary from the packet – this is your recommended single dose, and the pessary should never be cut or divided in any way.
• Sit or lie down with your knees bent and your legs spread apart
• Gently insert the pessary as far into the vagina as is possible and comfortable using your fingers
• Thoroughly wash your hands again
