BV-6 months! Need help, i’m tired

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hello!

I've had bv for 6 months and I already feel like I'm going crazy. I took various treatments (tinizol, suppositories, etc.) and nothing works. the lactobacillary flora was absent for a long time, and last month it was present, which made me happy. but bv is there. I also tested for std, everything is negative (I didn't test for hpv). My gynecologist said he normally had to go after the first antibiotic treatment ... but I took 6 and it didn't work out. now I am taking treatment again (antibiotic suppositories) and after that he recommended me to do vaginal douche with biguanelle (isotonic solution). I am 24 years old and he did not recommend me to do HPV genotyping (he said that I will panic and that among young people everyone has an HPV strain, only that in young people it usually passes). the only symptom is vaginal discharge: slightly watery, white-very little light green. it has no smell, I have no itching or burning. how can i get rid of bv? I am desperate. i have a bf, we have sexual contact, but we always do protected

    Hello, have you tried the metrogel for the vagina? That's what worked best for me.

      Hmm, do you know if you have access to Metronidazole pills? Metronidazole is usually the most effective for BV.

      Hi I have a question, sounds like you have tried metronidazole. I have just been prescribed this and I'm so scared to take it because of the side effects listed. The side effects sound terrifying ugh. Ive been holding off just staring at the bottle lol.

      Can you tell me what your experience was while taking them?

    Hello Denisa,

    i totally relate to you. i have the same issue. No other symptoms but grainy discharge and time by time slightly burning sensation. My gyn took a swab and came everything back as negative. According to dr. i neither have BV nor fungal infection.

    getting desperate since i know something is wrong but nobody can help me 😦

      Have you tried getting tested for Mycoplasma and ureaplasma? They are sometimes not seen under a microscope because they don't have cell walls but there are specific test to screen for it. It can be cured by a Zpack and or Doxycycline.

      You might be experiencing vulvodynia. Unfortunately it's not really talked about. I hope you feel better.

    Has anyone found a cure to this? I heard that if you mix one tbsp of salt with water and use it in a tampon that it could help cure BV. I've had it nonstop for 5 years now. It was watery discharge and fishy smelling everyday until I did a hydrogen peroxide douche and fluomizin suppositories for 12 days.

    I have less discharge now but if i insert a finger or have sex with my boyfriend, this thick yogurt/ lotion-like discharge comes out with a faint sour smell. All tests says its BV, my lactobacillus count is 0. I'm thinking of trying fluomizin again. I took antibiotics this January - helped with the smell but the thick discharge was still very much there. Help please?

    I want to get married soon and have kids and honestly with this condition it seems very unlikely to do so.
