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.

also. You need to think abour the route of the issue. Unfortunately the antibiotics have probably ended up doing you more harm. But a cleanse and better nutritional choices could do you a world of good. And your hormones may be out of wack. You could get your levels checked. Or even just look into herbal suppliments like dong quai root that can level you out. Always do your research ut these thinga have really helped me and i dont have to worry about bad side effects like you do with antibiotics.
also little rhings jelp. Buy a ph balanced body soap like natural bbeauty bar. And wear cotton. Hope this helps!

also. I saw you mention about the chunky discharge without itching... this happened to me with metrogel and it happens to a lot of other women too and its just the bad bacteria clumping up and leaving system.
dont freak out too much about it. Natural treatment for yeast and bv are about the same so you'll be treating both if it is yeast
