Hi all, Balance Activ have asked for this comment to be posted:

"Thank you for your valuable feedback. We wanted to respond to the points raised and address concerns.

We have undertaken this survey to learn more about women's understanding of BV, as despite the fact it is the most common vaginal infection, many women have not heard of BV and often misdiagnose it. It's our aim to provide women with the key facts about BV to help them make informed choices. Your comments and insight will help us achieve this.

BV is caused by a change in the normal pH and bacterial balance in the vagina. pH changes can be a result of a number of things, including your monthly cycle, sex and douching. It's this imbalance that results in the symptoms of BV which, as some of you have expressed, often includes a strong, fishy odour.

Balance Activ is a Lactic Acid gel that is clinically proven to treat and prevent the symptoms. It is drug and preservative free and works by restoring the normal pH in the vagina. It is available on prescription and any women with concerns should talk to their healthcare professional for advice. It is also available over the counter for women experiencing reoccurring symptoms.

Some of you have asked for more information on the link to serious health implications of untreated BV. You can find out more on the NHS website here.
We have offered a sample as part of this survey for anyone experiencing symptoms and wishing to try a recognised alternative to antibiotics. All those who will be sent a sample will also be sent information on when the product can be used, information on BV and where they can go to find out more."
