Any bacterial vaginosis help?
Posted , 54 users are following.
Hello. For two years now I've been suffering from bacterial vaginosis. I seriously wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. All throughout high school I've worried myself sick wondering if others could smell me. My symptoms consist of the awful fishy smell, and thick white discharge.
The doctors have put me on antibiotics so many times that they don't even work anymore. and It ALWAYS come back within a week. They even put me on metronidazole gel for 4 months and instead of getting better it got worse!
As for home remedies I've tried, the main two were douching 50/50 with hydrogen peroxide and water. I did this twice a week and it kept the smell away, however after a few months it kept coming back quicker and my stomach started hurting everytime I douched so I stopped. I've also tried Femdophilus and various combinations of vitamins and minerals, all of which have done nothing. The next was boric acid capsules. I've been using them for the past six months and I can't go 5 days after using one without it coming back. I need to stop now because long term use can potentially cause kidney problems. I'm very scared now because I have exhausted all my options.
I'm only 16 and I can't even think about going back
to school in a couple weeks smelling like a fish. My mom doesn't even believe me anymore when I tell her. I've also failed every BV test they've given me at the doctors, so they don't believe me anymore either. I've spent the past two years crying and depressed.
PLEASE if anyone can help me, please do. I'm going to start inserting vitamin c tablets tonight to try that out. Has it worked for anyone? Please help, I can't live like this anymore.

P. S. You know there is a normal vaginal odor that is quite unique, right? Are you sure yours is BV? Sometimes, in addition to the unique vaginal odor, there can be a BO smell, also. You seem so young. Make sure you have clean hands before inserting a tampon or before you touch yourself there, like scratching an itch. And of course wipe front to back. Avoid perfumey soaps. If you kill the bacteria with peroxide or antibiotics, you need to add back the good bacteria, so eat yogurt. Good luck!
