I am 35 years old and I have had BV for 10 years it's not an antibiotic that you can name that I haven't taken more recently about two years ago it won't go away. At first the antibiotics will get rid of it into the next menstrual cycle but now it goes nowhere to the point that I have to wear sanitary napkins because I discharge like I'm having a period it has to be something I can do it has to be this is the most uncomfortable thing in the world I need some ideas I'm resorting to forms on the internet. I know somebody can help me

    Hi Tiffany,

    Please do not take any more antibiotics as it worsens the condition. I recently learned about the three different strains of probiotics and their works. First of, most probiotics won't make it past the intestines, at least not orally. Lactobacillus Acidophilus (what most women ingest) works BEST when used topical and vaginally. There are Lactobacillus Rhamnosus and Lactobacillus Reuteri which are the only ones that make it past the intestines. Rephresh Probiotics include those. I have read many good reviews, but I have yet to try them, which I will buy them today once I am off work. 

    Another thing to research would be biofilm and BV, the reason why reoccurances happen.

    Also, you could try hydrogen peroxide wipes and douches. Get the health grade 35% and delute down to 3% or 1.5% (the internet will show you how)The brown bottle works also, but it contains "stabilizers" which I think are made out of metal and can injure your vaginal wall over time.

    Drinking lots of water and staying hydrated is important. Try to up your intake of vitamins. It's been said, deficiency of Vit D is linked to BV. I recently started taking them as well. 

    The boric acid did not help me, but I did quit 4 or 5 days in because I saw no difference. 

    The treatment I am currently on

    H202 douches and insert one Lactobacillus Acidophilus right after

    Taking 2 Vit  D pills daily

    2-3 garlic pills (non oder)

    Pre natals (if I take these, I only take one Vit D)

    A ton of water

    Trying to stay away from Caffiene and alcohol. 

    Hope this helps.
