Over growth of some anaerobic bacteria compared to the beneficial hydrogen peroxide producing lactobacillus bacteria cause serious imbalance in bacterial content resulting in this problem. Conventional treatments using antibiotics destroys both the beneficial and harmful bacteria suppressing the general body immunity system to a great extent. Diagnosis of this problem is often very confusing, as it does not show any particular symptom except a thick vaginal discharge with a fishy smell, and this should not be confused with vaginal yeast infection. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/3-Days-To-Permanent-Bacterial-Vaginosis-Relief---Natural-Cure/251303 Tue, 10 May 2011 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/3-Days-To-Permanent-Bacterial-Vaginosis-Relief---Natural-Cure/251303 Being parents to beautiful children is the best feeling in the world which cannot be compared to any other. However, there are people in the world who are devoid of this feeling. Surrogacy is an arrangement which can bring back that feeling to couples who are not able to have kids in a natural way. It is basically an agreement between a couple and another woman who carries the child of the couple and delivers it. This woman could be the genetic mother of the child. This process is known as traditional surrogacy. There are other methods of surrogacy as well. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/What-is-Surrogacy-/249878 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/What-is-Surrogacy-/249878 Vaginal bacterial infections are very common in women and more than 80 percent of women experience these kinds of vaginal infections at some point in their lifetime. There are many kinds of vaginal infection and bacterial is one of the kinds. Vaginal infections occur when the balance of the bacteria present in the vagina get disturbed. Usually, we have the good bacteria and the bad bacteria present in the vagina naturally. The good bacteria keep a check on the overgrowth of the bad bacteria, but when this balance is disrupted because of some reason, the bad bacteria overgrow causing infection. In some cases, infection is caused by a fungus instead of bacteria. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Do-You-Know-Vaginal-Bacterial-Infections-Symptoms--Causes-and-Treatment/246850 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Do-You-Know-Vaginal-Bacterial-Infections-Symptoms--Causes-and-Treatment/246850 Vaginal dryness occurs when there is a lack of lubrication in the vagina. The dryness causes pain during sexual lovemaking and other discomforts. This is a common condition in women and can affect any woman. During menopause especially, vaginal dryness is a common occurrence. Vaginal lubrication usually consists of fluid that comes through the walls of the blood vessels around the vagina. Blood flows to the pelvic organs when one is sexually aroused and this creates lubrication. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Do-You-Know-Vaginal-Dryness-and-Infections-Causes-and-Symptoms/246849 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Do-You-Know-Vaginal-Dryness-and-Infections-Causes-and-Symptoms/246849 Ovarian cysts are pockets or sacs filled with fluid on the surface or within the ovary. Mostly these cysts are harmless but in some cases these cysts may cause bleeding, pain or rupturing and may be required to be removed by surgery. The ovaries in a woman are located on each side of the uterus and are the size of a walnut. The ovaries normally store the eggs and then release them at the appropriate time. Each month, one egg is produced in each ovary and is enclosed in a follicle. The egg grows in the ovary till the uterus is ready to release the egg. The uterus prepares for pregnancy by thickening the lining for implantation of the egg. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Do-You-Know-Ovarian-Cysts-Symptoms--Causes-and-Treatment/246847 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Do-You-Know-Ovarian-Cysts-Symptoms--Causes-and-Treatment/246847 Vaginal thrush in women occurs when there is an over growth of the yeast called candida albicans in the vagina.

However, this only applies to the situations in which the discharge is clear or white and has no specific smell. Anything that looks different is probably a symptom of a medical condition. Sometimes there's nothing serious, but in some women it can be about a severe disease. The best thing to do when noticing an abnormal secretion, like a yellow vaginal discharge, is to see a doctor in order to know for sure whether you need treatment or not. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/What-Are-The-Causes-Of-Yellow-Vaginal-Discharge-/245821 Wed, 23 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/What-Are-The-Causes-Of-Yellow-Vaginal-Discharge-/245821 All women need to learn how to recognize normal vaginal discharge from abnormal discharge. A certain amount of vaginal discharge is normal in all women because there are glands in the vagina and the cervix which release a secretion. The role of this is to actually clean the genital organs from harmful bacteria. Nothing is wrong as long as the vaginal discharge does not change in quantity or color. Normal discharge can either be clear or milky white and it's always odorless. Attention needs to be paid to white vaginal discharge also because if this is excessive or it's not actually white, but grey-white or stained with blood, it might also signalize a problem. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/What-Are-The-Causes-Of-White-Vaginal-Discharge-/245820 Wed, 23 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/What-Are-The-Causes-Of-White-Vaginal-Discharge-/245820 White discharge is somehow normal in women. It occurs in certain phases of the menstrual cycle and it doesn't have to signalize a medical problem. It might be a matter of concern if its quantity increases, but this can happen because of an unhealthy life style or in sedentary people. The normal white discharge in women is known as leuchorroea. Nevertheless, when the white discharge is a symptom of disease or medical condition, it is not named like this anymore. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Effective-Natural-Home-Remedies-For-White-Discharge-In-Women/245819 Wed, 23 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Effective-Natural-Home-Remedies-For-White-Discharge-In-Women/245819 Vaginal yeast infections have been experienced at least once by over 70 per cent of all women.
