Hello,
I am new to this group, i was not even sure BV was such a common thing with other women. I have had reoccuring BV over the past two years as i have gotten older, i feel like i have tried everything but nothing seems to be working. I am ashamed to even have this problem and my doctors tell me its my ph balance and i have tried the represh and the medicines they have perscribed me as well as multiple types of gels. My partner and i do not use condoms as i am sensitive to them, i wash up everytime and do "what i am supposed to" yet it always comes back. I went and saw my doctor today to possibly see if a specialist would be the answer but the last thing i want to do is get put on more medication. I did read a blog about someone putting lemons in hot water, i am going to try this trick and see if maybe it will work. I just needed to vent since noone else i know seems to have this problem, it is very nice to know i am not the only one having this take over my life on a constant basis. I am open to any ideas it is nice to vent to some people who seem to understand this problem

Drink lemon water. Get a glass of water of water, 8 ounces of water & squeeze a whole lemon in it. Use warm water.

Hi thanks for sharing, yes I have felt better reading these stories to know how many others are in a similar situation. I'm still a little overwhelmed by all of it, I got my first ever infection almost eight months ago and after 4 recurrences I'm figuring it out that I have chronic bv... I've been poring over these forums and i just don't know where to start, I have an appointment tomorrow with my gyno but I'm not hopefully that more antibiotics will fix this problem at this point.

Hi, I'v had this problem for 1 1/2 years now. I Have been treated by 3 different Dr.s., to no avail. I do not have an odor for which I'm grateful, however I have burning, itching & irritation. I'm miserable. I'v tried every medication and my Doctors also have just gotten discouraged ,I felt like one of the Doctor's didn't believe me bc I didn't have an odor!
I'm past childbearing age. I'v had the same boyfriend this whole time. I'm so afraid that this BV will NEVER go away. I need to find a solution and appreciate talking to other women with this problem.
