AMPICILLIN 500 MG-E. Coli

I only get bv when I switch up partners;however,it only lasted this long when it was EColi. I’ve seen 3 male OB /GYN, 2 Female PA’s, and 1 female OB/GYN that found it was E Coli everyone else just looked and prescribed. They did check my blood it was good. However, I have researched so much that I started asking the doctors for medicine that kills E Coli. My dr said no to Cipro yet it says this is the best medicine to kill e Coli. So she prescribed Bactrim,Tindamax and diflucan. I read a blog from another woman suffering with Bv that used Cipro Tindamax and a vaginal Suppositories that is a combination of the medicines on Neosporin label. I added Neosporin vaginally to the Bactrim,Tindamax. After a week I still felt the same...I ended up going to my Primary Care and I explained everything to her(another PA) she works with my Physician. I started hurting when I urinated so she sent Cipro because she said a UTI is E Coli.  She prescribed it twice and sent over Metro Gel and Nystatin Cream. That was December 13. It’s January 8 and the heaviness and discharge is gone. I am praying for total healing because I have cried for 24 months away from my family. Doctors look at me like I’m crazy and tell me I’m so healthy. I have no chronic illnesses and just be happy and use my vagina...I’m like...huh...the burn,pain,discharge...nobody is touching me. God knows I am not using anymore antibiotics or antifungals because I talked to another girl who is suffering with liver damage. I am drinking tea and taking Probiotics to flush my system completely.  I will keep you posted. If the symptoms return I am going to the dr for Vaginal Rejuvenation they have a CO2 laser that kills Yeast,bv and UTI

Some ob/gyn doctors say everyone has e. coli in their system and that it is just normal. Many also say that only an imbalance where there is more bad bacteria than good is in the vagina not a major issue. If this imbalance is not extreme according to info obtained from a lab culture/cultures then it is up to the person to replace the good bacteria through diet and safe hygiene practices. If pain is persistant even after there is a good flora balance, some OB/GYN doctors recommend to see a pain specialist to find coping strategies for the phantom pain/ vulva dynea...So if the doctors are saying to you that the cultures look fairly normal but there is a low good bacteria count...then you will have to follow some of the recommendations above. You need a second opinion on their E. Coli discovery in my opinion, but again I am not a doctor. Only see OB/GYN docs since they have better methods for testing and are more knowledgeable. But, go in part with your gut feeling too. If you feel that something is still wrong..you are probably right. Taking more anibiotics or resorting to more extreme methods to rid yourself of bacteria (good and bad) could just make your problems with UTI, etc worse. Antibiotics may permanently destroy good bacteria...meaning you may have to drink kefir, eat kimchee, take flora pills , check you pH, daily for months to a year or even a lifetime just due to all of your antibiotic use you have already had. Sorry to say this, but I research says that this could be true.

Hey Ada

I am really tired of this nightmare and yet I have found so many blogs from women who are battling this disease. However,I love probiotics the drinks,yogurts and I’ve purchased so many pills and liquid versions that I am sick of the vicious cycle. I am going to find another OB because out of the 5 I’ve seen they all seem clueless...I am an artist and we have to constantly learn new things and I am always studying and advancing to stay relevant ;yet these doctors I have seen graduated from college and opened a practice and really are not focusing on any cures...I’ve cried for 25 months and I just do not know what to do but FIGHT!!! I am not giving up on this cure because they say it’s something that’s not so bad...I used to be able to sleep without panties and pads...now they have become a part of this burden to mask this infection. I pray so hard for all of US. I am asking God to send me to the one doctor that understands this is not something we have to live with. I really believe there is more money in the cure. The Love Of Money is the Root to all evil. Keep praying for me and I will continue to pray for US all thanks for the information and love you Sista💓

I am glad that you will get a second opinion. It's important to continue to do your own research. I just read today that research has been done and it was discovered that mannosides may help to remove E. Coli bacteria from walls. A drug with mannosides is not available yet, but women can participate in similar studies. Many women say in forums that mannose d pills or powder from the vitamin shoppe and 1000 mg of vitamin C with cranberry juice pills have helped them cure uti's and that they feel relief within hours of taking this... I am not sure about whether or not this really works... but it seems like many women get problems with getting chronic bv and uti's in their mid 30's..so it could be hormonal *. Our immune system weakens with age too... something to think about... and over the years we have consumed or been exposed to so many chemicals.. from chlorine or fluoride in water to hormones in food to gmo's, to nutritionally deficient carbs, pollution in drinking water that is still suitable for drinking, to too much soy, sugar, and fat in products, hair dyes getting into urine, etc. There must be a way to find what works for you to balance your pH, flora, and gently but effectively destroy the bad bacteria.

Mannose D with a thousand mg of vitamin C. Women in most forums taking this said they felt relief within a few hours.

I’ve tried the D-Mannose and it didn’t work bought it at GNC it had cranberry in it however,the medical professionals guess too much. I got this from sex,not hormones changing or aging. I do believe we eat and drink unhealthy products that break our bodies down;however, if they can use a Laser to kill cancer and they can kill this bacteria disease it’s more than an infection. No need to sweeten it up. I am off every antibiotic now. I used Bactricin (like Neosporin but only Bactricin 500 mg) and inserted it 5 days at night. As soon as my cycle goes off I’m using probiotics vaginally for an entire month. I researched and most Scientist state when women have Vaginal infections we need to kill it lically(vaginally by touching the disease with the antibiotic not through the blood stream ) because it needs to kill it on site. I usually have greater results vaginally. I can not tell today but as soon as these menses stop I am praying for God to take the soreness,pain,discharge and burn away. I really don’t have a smell anymore because I shower like 3 times a day. I work out and shower,and always wear a pad and change every  3-4 hours to mask any smell. I am still skeptical because most study and medicine that kill E Coli is ignored and not available yet or something to that effect. There are women on here who said they suffered 10 years. There are women I’ve prayed with and for that want to kill themselves...they are young,middle age and older than I am...so I really don’t understand why doctors are not having studies and researching things to help US eliminate this disease. Everybody want to cure cancer,it killed my dad...so I am included in the desire to find a cure for cancer;but as a healthy 43 years old woman with No Chronic Diseases,don’t smoke,drink,do drugs or have sex...why should I suffer or my fellow Sista suffer when we take care of our health? This is what hurts and why I cry so many nights alone...I have done everything right;except fell in love with a guy and had sex Only with him for 2 years and ended it with him because of this disease. It hurts too bad to even speak about it. Depression is all over me...and a lot of us but we can’t hurt ourselves trying to find a cure. I will continue to look for a way to end this and post everything I’m doing to help others. Thanks for everything and please keep praying for me and I will do the same for tou🙏🏽

Hey Sista 

Do I dilute the peroxide or just straight twice a day? I bought it today working out now,just took my FemFlora Probiotics going to shower as soon as I finish...thanks and blessings to you🙏🏽💓

Hi ladies...sorry but not sure if I am commenting in the right place. Think I might get better luck if I tag on to here. Clinician suspects BV due to painful (cramping) brief sex, weird feeling like pressure (been for a long bike ride) little pricking type pains down there, went for a wee and expelled quite a lot of thin discharge clear and not smelly. Do others experience this? Waiting for swab and urine results to come back. Been worrying myself stupid looking at pictures of prolapse as symptoms seem to mimic BV in some cases but I can't say I can feel anything that shouldn't be there but questioning my own sanity right now.

These are the symptoms...hopefully you want have to battle for 25 months🙏🏽

Oh bless you...i don't think I can cope with this for another 25 hours to be honest. My urethra feels aggravated (have the feeling I need to wee after I have been)

Thanks Sista please pray for Us all. I am going to a Naturalist on Friday every time I think it’s gone it starts over like 15-30 days I have no symptoms for maybe 2-3 weeks. They say change diet,I was 160 and now I’m 183. I was Never this Big with my babies on board. I refuse to take another antibiotic. I’ve noticed the soreness going away every since I started the FemFlora but my panties were wet the other night after 2 weeks of FemFlora. It doesn’t swell anymore or do I feel it inside burning a lot but I know it’s still there. I’m tired of plugging Probiotics in my vagina it hurts. God knows I haven’t had sex for 27 months and the infection for like 25 months. I’ve never had E. coli and out of all the thousands of dollars I have spent on medicines that aren’t covered by Humana and homeopathic at health food stores. I truly believe they are making the medicine ineffective just for the money. I cry every night away from my kids. I bleach all my clothes and sheets. I throw away my panties every week. I am so tired of crying...one of my friends on here wants to die. I told her to keep fighting. I just can’t understand why we have to suffer and doctors pretend this isn’t a disease, it’s not that bad,you are so healthy? How🤦🏾???

I really never realised it could be so bad. Do you know if loose stools during a flare up is possible?

It seems many doctors just think it's smelly discharge and thats it!

Oh and another thing...i am certain with this episode I am possibly experiencing...i felt something move down there....strange feeling.

To help control the smell use a Reno body wash with yogurt. I put a little on my finger and swish it around and I’m good. Also after every time using the rest room wipe down there with a damp wash cloth and dry. Try to keep it as clean as possible. 

Aveeno body wash with yogurt 

Thanks👍🏽

It’s just painful no smell really just irritated but I’m buying it tomorrow at Walmart
