BV came back after being gone for a month :( help!

Posted , 5 users are following.

I had bacterial vaginosis real bad, itchy, sore, painful outside and inside my vagina and it was literally on going with NO break!

My boyfriend went away for 8 weeks, I stopped shaving and grew out naturally and I was using BV active gel for a month straight and stopped at my period - after my period I had NONE of these symptoms but horrendous smell .. which I could live with as atleast it isn't sore and itchy!

My boyfriend comes back, we have sex and BOOM it's back again, all of the symptoms sad what is wrong with me someone please give me an explanation to why this is happening to me sad

      No not at all actually. I just started using the bv activ gel but I have only been using it for 4 days now but it hasn't started working yet on the odor

    Take probiotics, cut back dairy, sweet, processed food. Avoid douching. Stop consuming alkaline source of food as it encourage the bad bugs, instead repopulate good bacteria.

    I swear by this. I suffered for so long with bv AND yeast. Buy a douche and 100% tea tree oil. Pour a little bit of tea tree oil in the douch, and fill the rest with water. Use it, then fill douch half with plain water, and use it. Bam you're done! Do this twice a day and until symotoms are gone. It works! TRUST ME, ITS A MIRACLE OIL! Its good for bacteria and fungus.

    You can stop after the bv is gone. If it comes back in 6 months or a year or whenever, just use tea tree oil again. Some girls are more suseptible to bv, like me. But tea tree oil has recued me!
