BV CURE.......POSSIBLY

Posted , 4 users are following.

Ok ladies, I think I finally found a way to get rid of bv. Women in Europe use Rephresh to get their ph balance up which also helps rid you of bad bacteria (low ph = bv and high ph = yeast). The meds the Dr gives specifically targets bv. I googled to find out if penicillin kills bv and it does but it also kills off good bacteria. I used one box of rephresh which lasts 12 days then I took 5 penicillin over the course of 3 days. Of course after the penicillin a got a yeast infection. I've never been so happy to have a yeast infection but it was better than bv. Of course I had to use monistat for the yeast but once it was gone me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex several days in a row. To my amazement the bv hasn't come back and it's been six months. Prior to this I suffered with bv for 9 years every week. Your Dr may not want to give you penicillin because it's so strong and it's kills all good and bad bacteria. If you know someone who has been to the dentist they may have some. Bv is so nasty anything is worth a try.

    High PH is BV not low 

    Vaginal pH. The normal vaginal pH is 3.8 to 4.5.

    Bacterial vaginosis often causes the vaginal pH to be greater than 4.5.

    I actually took penicillin for a uti  and didn't have BV for about 11 days....was the first time in over a year and 7 months that I didn't have any symptoms.....I was ecstatic"...didn't get a yeast infection due to the probiotics I take.....but the BV came back.....so back to the battle for me

      Did you repopulate your vagina with good bacteria (the strains reuteri and rhamnosus)?

      I'm thinking that maybe I need to blast this infection with strong antibiotics first...

    You sound just like me!!! I've had BV forever. I don't know what else to do or take. Every time before sex I need to use wipies so I feel fresh and clean. It's so annoying. I thought I was the only person on earth with this recurring problem!
