So after unprotected sex with someone I’ve known for years, I was so sore. Initially I just figured I was sore because he’s not holding a small package. It’s actually heavy for me to carry 😩 but anyways I took a look and saw a lot of sores inside my vagina and right around the opening. I googled and googled and googled and though I had herpes. Went to the doctor l, she was sure it was herpes but was considerate on not confirming anything until test results were back. She also diagnosed me with Bacterial Vaginosis. So I was nervous. I didn’t tell me partner right away that I thought he gave me herpes lol cause guess what..culture test came back negative. So it is possible to have ulcers with a BV infection. I’m also on the birth control shot. I wonder if that has anything to do with this whole little mess.

    OMG so the doctor couldn’t tell you what the sores were since they weren’t herpes...this is exactly what I am talking about;we pay these doctors millions and yet they still don’t know how to treat us when something happens;they get frustrated with us and brush us off and can’t even help...now I’m sure this has happen to someone before you? I didn’t even know AV is when it’s E. coli until a nurse on this page explained it;but not one of the drs that I’ve seen in 26 months have every said AV...how does a nurse know more than a dr? After I Googled it there is an AV.  I’ve seen 4 OB/GYN’s and 2 Nurse Practicioners,1 Primary Care Physician and 1 Physician Assistant;and going to a Naturalist next week. I’ve spent over 3000 on homeopathics, prescriptions and medicines insurance won’t xover;yet Pharmacatical companies make Billions off of medicines not created to cure anything...I am so tired of doctors looking at me like I’m crazy too and hugging me and saying it’s not that bad you don’t have AIDS Herpes or HIV but will offer you a hysterectomy on your insurance that you do not need because you are such a healthy woman...and say see you next year. I will rather visit the Vet before I give one more doctor my cash and they go to vacation and I cry all night because I do not know who to turn too...God got it though and hopefully you will be better in jesus name we gotta turn to the creator because these people only passed a medical test they aren’t really trying to help any of us because we pay for their kids tuition we are just numbers

      Aerobic Vagintis=E Coli and Staph...Bacteria Vaginosis=BV is Gardenella. I have not spoken to my OB since December I’ve been going to my Primary Care physician and they treated it but after I left them,I realized through research of my own. The medicine has to be used Vaginally not Orally and this is why it’s not working for AV. I have an appointment with a Naturalist next week;been hesitant because every time I go somewhere and pay my money and they draw my blood,swab my vagina and send me off until 5 days before they attempt to treat anything. This is painful,embarrassing and I have never had anal sex then vaginal sex...so how does E Coli travel inside of the vagina;well nobody cares to know. I tried adding some advil last night. I looked up a treatment and I’m not sure where it came from but it said NSAIDS have been linked to killing bacteria so I tried it and it sting a little ,now I’m back to feeling all types of ways. Gotta go find something to make it better, I don’t like going to the dr feeling raw and swollen inside...ooh well I’m just praying now and about to go buy some Boric acid before next week. I have one prescription left at the compounding dr so I will be doing that for 14 days,now I’ve gotta wait once again before I go to the dr because I am sore inside. I tried the Advil and one girl told me to dilute bleach but I was not doing that...Every time I think of bleach it’s so poisonous...yet I haven’t felt clean and like the woman I am for 26 months. I am so sad all the time;I am about to just break down physically because it’s like nobody cares and they practice medicine to Not Cure anything...I feel trapped in my own body. I can’t even understand why this is a puzzle that nobody has a clue about;now a silly person like me...I do not even know what to think. I don’t trust anything but myself and these women suffering like me because doctors are Filthy Rich...they don’t care

      Honestly i haven’t been back to ask if she possibly knows why I had open sores. I do plan on calling to speak to the doctor. But I was distraught waiting on those results. I was confused. It didn’t look like normal heroes but it was open ulcer sores. So I was just like wow. I’m pretty sure the doctor is prob not gonna have anything she can tell me when i call back. She’ll probably say it was a symptom of the BV infection and call it a day. You’re absolutely right In how you’re feeling tho.

      It’s just sad...I will pay whatever it takes;I’ve already spent like 3000 so what’s next...I haven’t had any discharge but I’m always trying stuff because it feels funny inside. I thank God I don’t have herpes or hiv or aids and I am sure for the patients who do have it the doctors don’t want to touch them at all...and it’s sad...nobody wants anything free. I just want to be healthy and live. Guys don’t get this but pass it...and my dr even told me I shouldn’t have broken up with my boyfriend...well who want to have sex and their insides are swollen,sore,discharging,

      smelling,sharp pains...this is a disease it’s more than an infection or an imbalance of the ph...God bless us🙏🏽

    It may just be papillomas - Google it. I have them and BV irritates them and makes them red, itchy and they look like herpes but they're benign. I think the BV actually caused them to be honest, and all the self-treatment with boric acid etc that I wish I never attempted.
