A possible cure for BV?

Has anyone tried Femmesil cream? I read some review online and it seems to help a lot of people with odor. I havent tried it yet myself but it will be the next thing I try.

I m newly diagnosed with BV and have one Balance Activ gel left to use out of the 7 tonight. I have to say it's been brilliant! 

I feel so much better down there. No dryness, no itching or burning already!

I even wanted intercourse yesterday when I've been avoiding it for months due to pain and we were able to have full intercourse for first time in ages. Huge improvements. 

Now I understand this BV may come back but I am blown away by how quickly I am returning to 'normal' after months - probably years if truthful - of discomfort and pain. 

 

Hi all,

I suffered with bv for years every month, either before my period or after I would notice the smell. back and forth to doctors, walkin centres everything but after using the bv cream ordered from amazon and treated thrush with tablet at the same time (by mouth) as it was so bad and I was desperate iv never had either again since and that was about 2 years ago.

So I do think Thrush and bv go hand in hand and in my case treating them both together (I did take two thrush tablets over 2 days) worked a miracle for me.

I did have stinging in the vagina with the cream but my symptoms had gotten so bad and I was so sore anyway I would of tried anything.

I had vaginitis for 4 months. The way that it was finally cured: I asked to be treated for mycoplasma genitalium. This bacteria causes a high pH and recurrent BV. And no one screens for it, and flagyl doesn't kill it. If you want to be tested: labcorp test 180089. Treatment is 5 day z-pack. Good luck!

I am a bv sufferer and I always have a bad reaction to antibiotics so when I saw bv gel in my local tescos I leaped with joy! Only used one tube and already I'm noticing a big difference!

If this stuff carries on working it will be a huge blessing for me.

Hope it works just as good for everyone else!

Let is know how it goes, I would like to give it a try!

Just wanted to say that Balance Activ hasn't worked for me...it helps but it comes back  

I have only had bv once. I believe i got bv from using scented tampons and also douching (dont do either of these things they dont make a difference) To cure my bv i tried the oral anti biotic which didnt help or cure it at all. So i decided to try the "Balance active BV gel". I got mine from superdrug for about £8. Its a 7day course where you apply one pipette of gel inside the vagina per night. Using the gel after a bath or shower before bed worked best for me.

I have to say i noticed a difference from the very 1st night i used it. When i had bv i experienced itching and discharge which was foul smelling (not fishy but foul smelling). It left me very very self conscious and feeling dirty. The balance active bv gel was so easy to use and in my case worked from the first day i used it however i carried on using it for the 7days until the course was finished just to make sure. I didnt experience any stinging, soreness or anything unpleasant while using the gel. It worked really well for me. Only thing i would say is use a pad in your knickers because some of the gel will leak out through the night and its unpleasant having wet knickers, other then that i would recommend balance active bv gel as it worked well for me.

Kaitlin, I live in the States, and suffered from BV.... Here's what I did after lots of research, sounds crazy but I'm over a year with no recurring symptoms. I made a douch of 50/50 hydrogen peroxide and water, burned like crazy and I wondered how stupid I was. But I did this 3 days in row... Combined with a tampon soaked in coconut oil, turmeric spice, cinnamon spice, and garlic oil, also burned, every night 3 nights in a row. I added fermented foods, sour cream,yogurt,etc to my diet. No more BV. I did eventually wing myself off of sugar,but it was not something I considered,when I had the lapse in judgment and tried the hydrogen peroxide and the spices. I have always eaten healthy,because I love veggies,especially green leafy,and I've never been a bread or potato fan!!! So diet was not an issue. I was desperate, and after reading several post about HP and BV, I was willing to try anything. Hope this helps other, Ladies, because after all the money spent going back and forth to the gyno,and nothing working. It seemed almost magical to have the remedy in my cupboard. But I no longer have an BV Symptoms, so for less than 5 bucks... And some Biblical spices... I don't have to deal with what seemed like a curse from the devil, lol!!!
