Bacterial Vaginosis Posted: 02-21-04 00:03am
I've had bacterial vaginosis(bv) diagnosed
since nov. 5th (well I think i've had it
since july after I had sex for the first
time ) and a week after
I finish meds the symptoms come
back.....Its came back 2 times
already....I know I have it know but im
not going in and am giving up....Treatment
doesnt seem to work & they cant put me
on higher dose cuz im very underweight for
my age. The thing of it is the
hospital/clinic only has on type of
anti-biotics they will give me. My
doctor, shes not to worried that it keeps
on comming back ...Shes just wants
to make sure it doesnt produce into
something else
.....I hate that this can cause other
serious health problems such as pid,
etc.!!
i hate this doing it stupid infection!!!!
does anyone have any insight about why it
keeps on comming back? I'd really
appreciated.

Hey, i've got it too and it keeps coming
back. Mine stayed away for three days
after the antibiotics! My advice:
- stop taking antibiotics because they are
really bad for your body, they don't work
at all (because it just comes back), and
each time you use them your bacterial
vaginosis builds its resistance to them!
Also, it was in the paper last week that
some research ahs shown that the more
antibiotics women take, the greater the
risk of cancer.
- get this book I have just got called the
v book, by elizabeth g. Stewart, you can
get it really cheap on amazon. It has
loads of info in.
- take lactobaccillus tablets from the
health food shop. Make sure you keep
them in the fridge. They are not bad for
you, and they work while you take them.
Sadly, just like antibiotics, when you
stop taking them it comes back (so far it
has come back once), but they are good for
healthy digestion as well, so in theroy
you don't need to stop taking them.
Let me know if you find any other
remedies. That is the first one I have
tried from the v book as I have only just
received it.
