hi all

so since my period I've suffered with the smell of bv worse than i ever have and I really don't know what I'm going to do .

I've been bathing 3x aday only for the smell to return 10 minutes later .

This is the strange bit I hope someone might have knowledge on this but I'm using boric acid and my vag smells fine when I smell with my hand down there I'm also getting no odour discharge but I still stink its bizarre.

I've stopped boric acid now and I'm gonna shower instead of baths .

I also went to the clinic again I was given antibiotics metronidazole again day 3 no change .

the doctor at the clinic said they couldn't smell nothing.

I'm so confused.

I've started drinking loads of water and I'm eating fruit I cant live any kind of life

I'm canceling plans and other people due to the horrendous stench .

I'm waking up at 3am sobbing over the smell

I brought tea tree gel to insert but i read a few paper articles on line saying dont use tea tree oil up your vag .

really sad right now.

    Try staying away from gluten & wheat along with taking probiotics. I think I have a gluten/wheat sensitivity bc whenever I consume its worse!! Have you ever noticed an increased amount of discharge after you eat, if so, track what you eating.
