Seven single-use applicators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBacterial vaginosis is not an infection the way a yeast infection is. It is an imbalance — the lactobacilli that normally keep the vagina acidic are outnumbered by anaerobic bacteria and pH rises. Symptoms follow from that shift, not a single invading organism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLactic acid is what lactobacilli produce naturally. Supplying it lowers vaginal pH toward normal, suppressing anaerobes and letting native lactobacilli re-establish. That non-antibiotic route matters, because repeated antibiotic courses for recurrent BV tend to reset the same cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sodium hyaluronate does a separate job: it holds water in the vaginal mucosa. That is why the product carries a dosing regimen for dryness and atrophy alongside the BV one — daily for a week, then twice weekly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRosemary and chamomile extracts round out the formula. Each applicator is single use and pre-filled, so there is no measuring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUtiva is a Canadian company focused on urinary and intimate health, built around clinically studied ingredients at studied doses rather than proprietary blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Utiva Bacterial Vaginosis Relief Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor women with recurrent bacterial vaginosis who would rather not run repeated antibiotic courses, and anyone whose BV returns after a menstrual cycle — the preventive regimen targets that pattern. The hyaluronate makes it usable for dryness too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid it if you are trying to conceive: semen is alkaline and will neutralise the lactic acid, and the acidity itself is not helpful to sperm.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBacterial vaginosis during pregnancy is associated with complications and should be managed by a practitioner rather than self-treated.\u003c\/strong\u003e A mild burning sensation at the start of treatment is uncommon but recognised and usually settles quickly.
