What causes Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?

Condition analysis: 

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease(PID) can be a complication from some sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia and gonorrhea. Women who have multiple sexual partners or have partners who have multiple partners are often at higher risk of being infected.

There are also non sexually transmitted reasons for the infection. Some have suggested douching being a possible reason by pushing bacteria into the upper genital tract, but there have been no conclusive evidence yet. In any case, douching is an activity that should avoided for general female health. 

Instructions: 

1. Vitamin C:

Ascorbic acid is another name for Vitamin C. Foods that are rich in vitamin C are a great natural remedy for anyone with PID. The cervix uses vitamin C to make collagen, which the body needs in order to hold cervical cells together tight enough to prevent bacterial infection.

Vitamin C rich foods include citrus fruits like oranges, strawberries, and broccoli. There are also Vitamin C supplements you can take daily. Red raspberry leaf herbal tea offers a rich source of Vitamin C. It is also helpful in the fight against infection and inflammation.

2. Plain, Sugarless Yogurt:

An application of one cup of plain sugarless yogurt to your vulva and vagina is a great natural remedy. Plain yogurt contains millions of Lactobacillus acidophilus which is a healthy good bacteria that is normally found in the vagina.

PID is caused by a common bacteria known as Gardnerella vaginalis. Lactobacillus kills Gardnerella vaginalis and applying yogurt will eradicate the Gardnerella vaginalis. Push the yogurt into your vagina and smear on your vulva, leave in for three hours and rinse. Do this for three days.
