Ladies stop douching and using all that
smell good caca!! Take a clear bath and
then get up use soap but not inside you
vagina. I had this once before my doctor
says some women will keep them -the other
less expensive alternative is go the std
clinic in your area usually the health
dept has them and they are free as well as
the drugs

Was that even in english??????????Number
one, don't curse on this site! Number
two, bv is not an std. Number three, std
clinics (as you put it) are only free to
certain people, not everyone.

:cry:
i have had bv for a couple of years. I
get treated and then it comes back every
time. Last time I lasted 2 months
without it coming back. I was prescribed
some vaginal suppositories (which I cannot
recall the name right now). I was
supposed to use them for three months for
10 days out of the month twice a day. I
made the mistake of using them only for
one month. I am now using them again and
will use them for 3 months now to see if
it works. Insurance does not cover them,
but they are not extremely expensive. I
have tried everything from flagyl to metro
gel to everything other medication and it
keeps on coming back. My husband thinks
it will never go away and it is really
frustrating for us. I have tried
acidophilus, but that has not helped
either.
Can the person who said the yogurt comment
let me know how that works and how you
apply it. Thanks

Peroxide

I have read that a hydrogen peroxide
vaginal wash is very effective not just
for bv, but for almost any vaginal
infection.
I am in no way, shape, or form a doctor or
health care professional. I am in no way,
shape, or form able to give medical
advice. The following is just an
explanation of what I have read on the
internet. Please do your own reserach on
this type of vaginal wash and judge for
yourself if you should try this at
home!!!!!!
Here is the link where I read about the
h2o2 vaginal wash.

Cotton panties, eat yogurt with live
acidophillis--or take acidophillis over
the counter pills. This will help
intestinal prolums, mouth sores and yeast
infections.

Fellow Bv Sufferer...hope This Helps

Hi ladies...I have been suffering from
this frustrating condition on and off for
a few months now...Had it a year ago, was
given flagyl(pills) for 2 weeks and then a
course of cleocyn (vaginal cream ) after
that. Things were all clear until a few
months ago. I see a bv specialist who
told me there is no definite explanation
for it, other than a change in vaginal ph
(4.5 and above). She told me women are
acidic and men(semen) are alkaline, and
that semen can contribute to it, but not
cause it. She had me use the metrogel for
a week, and it didn't work. She has since
prescribed a 500 mg, thirty day course of
flagyl, which thrilled me to no end. I
tolerate it, but, not without nausea and
that lovely metallic taste in my mouth.
I didn't take the pills. I researched
the 'net and tried hydrogen peroxide
douche for a week, which was great until I
stopped, then it was right back in a day
or so. My specialist also recommended
something called gynatrun (sorry if I
spelled it incorrectly, but ask a
pharmacist for it)which is a hydrogen
peroxide based capsule with something like
2 billion i.U.'s of lactobacillus and
vaginal capsules. It costs about 20
dollars and is supposed to help. I
skipped the flagyl and just used this
treatment, but, I don't think I lucked
out(supposed to use in conjunction with
the antibiotic).
Also, look up enzara...Just got my order
today, will keep you posted if it helps or
not. If I must take the damn flagyl, then
I will, but, it is so bad for your body,
i'm trying everything else first. Hope
some of this helps...Good luck. :?

Bacterial Vaginosis

I went to herbal store and explained to
her the hell of bv, she said when doctors
gives use antibotics it kills the
infections and also some of our good
bacteria. It is not a able to restore
anything that it destroys so the infection
is still there. After I had been treated
for the forth time in 8 months she was my
last alternative. She gave a supplement
called bifipholus probotic the spelling is
probably wrong. I had to take 3 by month
and 2 vaginal for 10 days. I know it
sounds like a lot but I am proud to say it
works. She also told me it is best to
treat the body as a whole not just the
vaginal area. When we have a infections
you can see it on our tongue which means
it is in our esphogas and other
places,thats why she suggested that I take
it orally as well. When put in vaginally
at night the infection runs out it is
messy and sticky. It might irritant a
little but trust me it will pass. I am
proud to say I am bv free for 6 months.
Every bluemoon I insert 2pill vaginally if
I feel a little off balance after my cycle
ladies good luck

Vaginitis

I am new to this site and just found it.
I have been suffering on and off with
female problems for awhile now. I am
tired of feeling miserable. I think I
have bv. I think all along I thought I
had a mild yeast infection and I was given
dyflucan and creams but it never seemed to
clear it up. I still had vaginal
discomfort and pain that would always
reoccur. I felt like sex would give me
an infection of some kind. I don't know
what is wrong with me. I went over the
weekend to an urgent care and once again
explained my symptoms. I told them I
have a friend who is a nurse and she said
my sym. Sound like vaginitis and that I
may need flagyl. I have been on flagyl
before for some bowel problems. 500 mg.
This urgent care doctor didn't examine me
and said he would be willing to give me
flagyl and to follow up with my gyn. The
problem is he said once I take the flagyl
then a culture won't show if I have bv.
I am soooo miserable I had to take it.
He only gave me 200mg to take 3x. I am
going to up the dose because of the pain.
I have been reading all the notes posted
about bv on this page. It sounds like bv
always seems to come back. Has anyone
ever had this once and then cured??? I
am sooo frustrated and miserable. I
can't even work like this. I also went
to a urologist because I have frequent
urnination. He said he thinks I have
over active bladder and put me on some
other meds. I still have the syptoms.
Again, no tests were done. Help!!

Fighting a Losing Battle For Years

I've been fighting bv for years now. And
still no end in sight. The last episode
that I treated returned within 2 weeks.
I have tried oral and vaginal
metronidazole over and over! I've also
tried taking an acidophilis supplement for
over 6 months now with no improvement.
As you can imagine, I am fed up with this
infection. I've started researching bv
on line searching for alternative
treatments or lifestyle changes. I have
found a couple of interesting bits of
information. Here is a link to what I
have found on webmd.
Http://www
.Webmd.Com/hw/sexual_conditions/hw53194.As
p
if anyone has any further information that
might be helpful, alternative/homeopathic
remedies or lifestyle changes that have
improved your condition, please let me
know!
I'm so very sick of this
infection.......What's to come next?
Something more serious?!

Well, I dont feel any better and tomorrow
is the last day on the pills. I dont
think the medicene is helping at all but I
cant afford to go back to the doctor.
What is the difference between a yeast
infection and bv? Are the symptoms the
same?

When I had bv, I took flagyl. I took one
dose of four pills and my brown yucky
discharge was gone the next day. But
before I got the flagyl, I used a
pantyliner to help the smell. Good luck!

I just got diagnosed with bv again! And I
refuse to take the medicene bc this is
ridiculous and itll probably just come
back. Can anyone tell me what will happen
if I don't take the medicene? Does anyone
know any natural remedies to help it?
Thanks!

Like all of you I diagnosed with bv. My
obstetrician-gynecologist give me a
neo-penotran for 7 days. My doctor told
me to used it for seven days every night
before I sleep. And also try to use
lactacyd for your daily washing. I feel
good. I hope and pray that if you use it
you also feel good too.

I had been having pains in my upper left
quadrant for about a week. I assumed it
was digestive related and made a doctor's
appt. She gave me an hcg test and
determined that the ph of my urine was 7
(normal is 4). She told me she thought I
had bacterial vaginosis and that is what
was causing my spleen/abdomin to hurt.
She prescribed me flagyl. It totally took
me by suprise because I had no symptoms
whatsoever. No burning, no discharge and
I was sexually active but maybe once a
month (with one guy). I took the
anti-biotic for a week. The thing that I
am paranoid about is whether it's for sure
gone and how will I know if I do get it
again?? (since I had virtually no
symptoms...) I just don't want to let it
go untreated and have it lead to pid or
something like that. :oops:

How often are your bowel movements?

I am suffering with the same problem
(since Nov. 07) and my doctor actually
refused to treat mine after 2-3
re-occurances, and almost accused me of
selling or not using the medication. So I
found a new doctor and he said he's
treated several patients for bv, which is
a result of a slow moving digestive system
and the bacterial from un-digested foods,
is causing the im-balance, he put me on a
rx of the equivalant of mira-lax, and
metrogel and there less frequent now so I
am doing a cleanse which is said to lead
to 2-3 bowel movements a day (ultimate
cleanse) only 20$ at vitamin world, after
the cleanse is down I plan to follow up
with a daily digestive enzyme daily and
wait and pray
