Yeast Infections or BV? How to Tell the Difference

Itching, odor, discharge—common symptoms that confuse many women. Is it a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis (BV)? While symptoms can overlap, treatment and care options differ greatly.

Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of Candida, often resulting in thick discharge and intense itching. BV, on the other hand, stems from disrupted pH, leading to a fishy odor and thin discharge.

Neither condition is caused by poor hygiene. In fact, over-cleansing can make both worse. That’s why understanding your pH—and protecting it—is vital.

PureLux Naturals doesn’t claim to cure or treat these issues, but our boric acid suppositories are formulated to support a healthy vaginal environment. Natural ingredients like coconut extract and aloe add moisture and comfort.

When in doubt, consult your healthcare provider. But when you know your body, having a supportive wellness routine makes all the difference.
