Any Ideas on my situation with BV?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi there everyone I have been following this forum for a few weeks or so. I have had chronic BV for a year now. I have the terrible odor which is the worst part for me. I have tried perscription meds, Flagyl, Clindamycin, and tindimax pills. Have tried the vaginal creams but only the clindamyin cream. I have even started taking probiotics to see if it happens to help. I have been trying to get rid of this BV for 10 months now! I have even tried all these home remedies ive been researching over the last few months. My gynocologist and I ( which a different gyno I have this time) both are out of ideas. I asked her if this would go away ever and she said "I dont know". Its very frustrating. Also, about 5 years ago I had it for first time ever and confirmed it was BV( in which I had no idea what it was at the time). That gyno perscribed me to flagyl pill and after that course, It was gone and hadnt ever had symptoms after. Then a year ago the discharge and other symptoms came back n in all honesty, I almost knew in that first week of me having it this time, that it was BV. Because of that first episode with BV. how can 4 years later this come back and now wont go away? I have taken Flagyl on n off throughout the last 10 months and no luck, have tried clindmycin pill and the cream and no luck. Have tried Flagyl profibactively (Not sure if thats how its spelled)..and no luck with that either. Then Ive been trying all these differnt home remedies that women swear by. And so far no luck. The odor is ususally the worst after sex but in last month it has been with or without sex it is just terrible at this point. And after every course of antibiotics in this 10 months, it will seem to go away but within a week, or week and half at the most, it is back. I recently even tried Tinidmax, and there was no luck there either. Does anyone have any information what I can do next? And is there a chance that ill live with this issue for rest of my life? I have so many questions and am willing to try anything that I havent done yet!! Ive tried home remedies : The garlic remedy, the yogurt, tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar, peroxide. There may be more im not thinking of right now. But I have so many unanswered questions that professionals dont have the answers for and alot that the internet isnt giving me. Plz Help!!

iv been trying acidophilus capsules in a douche for the last few days , i also take these orally and it seems to be helping me, i have suffered for many years and nothing else has worked for me ! so mabey give it a try
Method: acidophilus capsules 2 billion live cultures , 3-4 capsules emptied into douche , add luke warm sterile water (make sure its not too hot as it will kill the bacteria) shake to activate cultures douche and hold in for three to four minutes and do this till all of mixture is gone, try this for 2-3 nights before bed aswell as taking them orally daily!!
Hope this might help you

My symptoms seem same as yours, the foul fishy smell, discharge & slight itching. Idk if it's a lifetime thing but the results were so fast I'm willing to continue the use. I tried everything u mentioned above and more. Now that I have a jump start on removing the smell I will decrease the amount of boric acid I take and incorporate other treatments daily like the probiotics, lemon water ( acid in body can cause BV and lemon helps with acid), yogurt, etc

Hahaha . I needed that laugh!! And yes I encourage you to try it. What can you lose . I am so happy abt my reaults. I ordered everything online ( different sites), but you get all 3 things from amazon. U will need size "00" gelatin capsules, a capsule machine ( to fill them- not required but definitely easier and less messy. Makes 24 capsules in 3 mins), and boric acid powder NF. Be sure to use gloves. U fill machine with empty capsules, pour powder into it, then close and BOOM, there are your own capaules. Store them in an empty bottle or zip lock bag. 😊😊😊 after you take them abt 5 days please keep me posted if it helped you. Pray you get immediate relief like I did
